Dear families, I have been around children basically all my life. I grew up in a teacher's family. My mother was a teacher at the elementary school and I was sometimes asked to assist her in the classroom which I really enjoyed. Later on I became a teacher myself in English, as well as a ballroom dance teacher in my home country, Slovakia. I have been working for many beautiful families here in Chicago and the suburbs, part-time, full-time, temporary or long-term commitments. I have 12+ years experience with children of all ages here in America from newborn to almost 14- years-old. The longest reference and relationship with the family I have is since 2000. They now have 3 children and my 12 year old son has known them ever since he was born. I still work for them part-time. I consider them our family. I also enjoyed having a Read more home daycare for a while when my son was younger and I took care of other children mostly from the neighborhood. It was really a beautiful experience, since we had a spectrum of different ages. I prepared homemade meals for all of us and the children enjoyed safe and warm environment while their parents were at work. I am in resonance with Naomi Aldort (parenting adviser) as well as Rudolph Steiner education system (Waldorf Schools) I am skillful in many areas and I enjoy introducing children to all kinds of things - from knitting, crocheting, embroidering, painting, gardening, cooking, reading, dancing, to just letting them be inspired to do what makes them happy. I encourage them to eat nutritious food and keep their bodies healthy also by being outside among trees in the nature. At the same time, I always respect the wishes of their parents and what they believe is important for their children on all levels. I believe that children are our future and we need to give them all the tools, so they can thrive on all levels.
