I have almost 20 years of childcare experience with children of all ages, specializing in infant care. I have been with my current family for 4 years. As they will be enrolling their child in school soon within the year, I am on the lookout for my next position! I take my job very seriously, because I know how important these early years are for development. There are many age-appropriate milestones that are important to reach, but overall it is most important to me that little humans in my care feel supported, loved, respected, and understood. Everyday, this will be at the forefront of my mind and heart, no matter what else is going on! Before my current position, I worked for several families, networking my way through their friend group and taking care of up to three infants at a time within a nanny share. (My current employers are Read more also part of this friend group!) Before meeting this wonderful group of children and parents, I was a nanny for two school-aged brothers who finally outgrew me as their nanny as they started all day pre-school and kindergarten. I have my first aid, CPR, and food safety certification, as well as my CDA Certificate in infant/toddler care. Formerly, I was the Lead Teacher in the infant room at The Nook Daycare, where I was in charge of the safety and care of up to 7 infants at a time. It broke my heart to leave that position for the financial opportunity of being a nanny. A snippet about me: I have a degree in screenwriting, and enjoy reading, writing, yoga, singing in choir, cross-stitching, playing music league, traveling, history, and exploring Chicago! I live with my partner and brother in Edgewater.
