Hello families! I'm Norma, a dedicated and nurturing nanny with over 20 years of experience in providing exceptional care to children aged 0-15. I am leaving my current nanny family of twin girls that I've cared for about 2 years, as they are moving to another state. Previously, I cared for 2 children for 6 years. We departed due to full time school enrollment. I've helped families with schedules, sleep training, drop offs, and potty training. With my daycare/preschool child development knowledge, I have also helped the children transition to a school setting, like teaching them their alphabet to teach them how to write their names. I also taught them spanish as I am bilingual. I am passionate about creating a safe and stimulating environment where children can thrive. My approach is warm, patient, and attentive, ensuring each child’s unique needs are met with love and understanding while also making learning fun. I started babysitting at 15. During high school, I volunteered at Christopher House pre-school as a teacher's aide for about 20 students. It was during this time that I fell in love with childhood development. I found it so rewarding learning all the fundamental elements to prepare children for kindergarten. During my first two years of college, I was lucky enough to work as a teacher's assistant and later as Head Teacher at a pre-school and daycare while also working alongside occupational and physical therapists during my time there. With the vast knowledge I acquired in a daycare setting (from learning the feeding schedule for a newborn, putting down a toddler, to teaching five year olds their abc's), I decided to move on to being a nanny. I went from following a curriculum to a more personalized schedule. Hopefully, you will consider me to provide care for your little one. Thank you for your time. Please feel free to reach out to me via sittercity messenger for any more questions. I'm comfortable with animals, but unfortunately, I'm highly allergic to cats.

Hi, I'm Natasha, a 23-year-old Chicago transplant (by way of New York and Colorado) with a genuine love for kids and a lot of experience caring for them. I currently work as a Teaching Assistant at Sacred Heart, where I help look after a classroom full of little ones every day. Wrangling a group of preschoolers has taught me a lot --- from how to keep kids engaged and having fun through crafts, games, and activities, to staying calm and attentive when everyone needs something at once. I love finding creative ways to make the day exciting for kids and am always ready with a backup plan when one activity runs its course! Beyond my work at Sacred Heart, I also have experience with middle and high school aged kids through tutoring, mentoring, and volunteering with community organizations around the Chicago area. I'm comfortable adapting to different ages, energy levels, and needs. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, patient, creative, and genuinely enthusiastic about spending time with kids.
