Working with children is my passion! I have raised two of my own (now 30 and 37) and am the proud grandma of 3 (4 yr. old twins, and a 2 year old). I have been a nanny for the past 10 years in the Chicagoland and Michiana areas. I worked at a daycare for 7 years and was a foster mother for 4 years. I just finished working for a family where mom is taking extended maternity leave,, so I am looking for my next experience. If you think we might be a good match, please contact me! My philosophy about working with (and raising) children is to love them first! Children who are loved will grow to become caring, responsible, loving adults. I like having routines for children which include reading, playing indoors and outdoors, making healthy meals and working on crafts and projects. I like to work Read more collaboratively with parents, honoring their schedules and preferences, so that children receive consistent guidance and feedback. I have experience with children ranging in age from newborn to seven in my nanny and caregiving positions, but have worked with all ages. I have also worked with twins (not including my own grandsons). I've also worked with kids who attended therapy, afterschool activities, chaperoned trips, done overnights and numerous other tasks. I've cooked for children and done their laundry, so let me know how I can help your family. I am also Spanish bilingual, and can help your child learn Spanish as well!
