Hello, I am currently looking for a long-term nanny position. I am a mother, grandmother, family assistant, doula, a childcare provider, house manager and a nanny. I completely understand how daunting a task it can be to find the PERFECT childcare match for your precious child. I am looking for a great family to offer my nanny services to. I am currently looking for a long-term position as a nanny. My hours are based on the needs of my clients. As a mom, I understand that the needs of a family can be ever changing. My Experience: I organize and engage children in age appropriate activities, keep them safe, and clean up after them. This includes structuring their day, scheduling classes and field trips, playing, laughing, coloring, singing, etc. I prepare healthy meals, teach manners and transport them to and from classes. In addition, I care for children during my Read more “off hours”. I owned and operated my own home daycare for fourteen years. I have been a private nanny, provided childcare at my church, I worked part-time at a public daycare, I have tutored in math and I have been a Girl Scout leader. I have cared for children with physical and learning disabilities, moderate and severe allergies, multiples, preemies, infants, toddlers and school age. I currently work part-time with Birthways as a postpartum doula and volunteer with Chicago Volunteer Doulas as a labor doula. Families are my passion. My childcare philosophy: I worked outside the home when my oldest two children were toddlers and have had my own personal experiences with daycare centers that were available to working parents. When we decided to have our third child, I found myself wanting to “fix” the issues I had found with “baby factory” daycares. As such, I started my own safe and loving home daycare for all children, from birth on up. I am no longer offering daycare services. I am looking for a new long-term family offering a nanny/house manger position. I would love to send you the rest of this letter to your email. I am looking for a long-term nanny position that is the right match. marieorria@prodigy.net

My experience with Marie was as a postpartum doula through Birthways. She helped us with overnight care for my daughter starting when she was approximately three months old. Marie is very knowledgeable about babies and their care - she helped teach me some great tricks for keeping tiny babies happy, and helped me to feel more secure and capable as a new mom. She was very compassionate to myself and my daughter, and always was tactful and sweet when offering advice. She spent many hours rocking my baby to sleep and soothing my frazzled nerves! She was also responsible for feeding, diapering, and helped out with any other tasks I needed. She was very willing to go above and beyond to help. I would definitely recommend Marie and wish her the best.

First things first, its a hard sell for my wife to have someone watch the kids. After the meeting with Marie, my wife was sold. Marie is very kind, understanding, and patient. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is unsure of having a new sitter. By far, Marie was the best care for my kids that they have had. Marie has a very structured home, clean, and she is honest. I've never met a more honest person than Marie! Thanks again for the great night Marie! John

When we talked with Marie, we were so impressed with her enthusiasm and ability to handle all the things going on! When she watched Bethany, she was fantastic! We are certainly looking forward to working with her again!
