I am a full-time nanny living in Chicago and I also provide babysitting services on occasion.  I have been helping with childcare for my family since I was 12 years old, as the eldest of five children, three of whom are active boys. I have always enjoyed watching over children and creating a fun, safe environment for my charges.  I have experience with infants, toddlers and preschool children, particularly preschool as I was an assistant Sunday school teacher for my church for six years.  I also did one summer as a camp counselor for a sleep-away camp, which put me in charge of 4-8 kids 22/7.  Some of my favorite activities are reading, drama and games. Generally I am a fun, easygoing sitter who enjoys playing games with the kids and making sure they have what they need.  I tend to be very calm and even tempered, which helps me keep up with high-energy kids.

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.

My name is Natasha Finkelstein and I’m a 19 year old from New York City. I’m currently a rising sophomore at Colorado College where I’m majoring in English. I am a lover of all things creative — writing, painting, drawing, music, movies, you name it. Through my years of experience with younger kids, I know how to balance my young, light-hearted energy with the responsibility and thoughtfulness that a caretaker needs to have. I have experience working with kids of all ages, from kindergarten to middle school but I’m happy to work with kids even younger. I like to build relationships with the kids I babysit for through fun activities like board games, arts and crafts, and baking. As a city kid I’m familiar with all the amazing places that young kids love to go. My favorites have always been the ice skating rink at Chelsea Piers, Color Me Mine, and the Museum of Natural History. I also am a huge animal-lover! I have a dog myself and I would be happy to take care of any pets.
