Hello! My name is Claire and I am a professional nanny in Chicago (located in, but not limited to, Lincoln Square)! I currently work full-time caring for two incredible boys, ages 2.5 and 9 months. I graduated from Indiana University (B. A. Theater &Drama) and am currently pursuing my Master’s in Secondary English Education. I spent my first year out of college in my hometown of Downers Grove, where I worked full time at Starbucks while also assistant coaching the Downers Grove South speech team, and auditioning for theater in Chicago. I have lived in the city for two years and have loved every minute of it. When I’m not busy working or studying, I take advanced improv classes at Second City. My background in childcare is extensive and varied. I have cared for children of all ages since I was a preteen: from infancy to adolescence. I have also Read more worked professionally with children, both as a childcare worker at a church in IN., and through a local theater group. My greatest skills in childcare are responsibility, organization, and, my favorite, creativity. I am not afraid to be silly for the sake of making a child happy! I'm passionate about childcare and continue to dedicate myself to understanding each child's unique set of needs and to always keep them safe, happy, and loved.

Claire was on time and had a professional appearance and manner. She cheerfully engaged with our daughter right away. They created a super cute art project! Claire managed our daughter’s bedtime tummy ache handily and communicated with us right away. We would happily book her again.

Claire was a wonderful, reliable, dependable and FUN babysitter for my girls over the summer. My kids really enjoyed playing and spending time with Claire and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were home with her. We look forward to having her back! :)
