Hi! I’m Clara, a caring and experienced nanny based in Wilmette. I have extensive hands-on experience with children of all ages—from newborns and toddlers to elementary school kids—both in paid roles and through raising my four children, who are now in high school and college. I’ve also worked with kids in structured settings, including teaching after-school classes with the Wilmette Park District and spending eight years teaching at the high school level. These experiences have given me a strong ability to connect with children, support their development, and create a safe, engaging environment. I am Red Cross certified in First Aid and CPR, and I prioritize safety, communication, and reliability in every family I work with. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, homework, or creative activities, I bring patience, energy, and a genuine love for working with kids. I’d love to connect and learn more about your family’s needs!
