Meet Isadora

  • Licensed Practical Nurse

I find children some of the most interesting people on the planet! An Evanston resident, I am an experienced and reliable (think: Old Faithful) mature nanny/babysitter. People remark that I have an intuitive understanding of kids and am a natural teacher. In the past I have been a primary school tutor. Creative and imaginative play come naturally to me. Let’s make it fun! "I have never met a child who didn't love Isadora and she them." So states one of my references who met most of the children I fostered. Now that they are grown weekdays, weekends, and overnights are all available to you. In addition to interacting in an affirming and positive way, helping children explore, learn and grow while being authentically present and attentively listening to them are all important aspects of the care I provide. I serve from my loving heart. I am an as little-to-no tech-as-you-want, Read more kind, caring, very safety conscious child care provider respectful of your preferred routine. Others have commented that I am flexible, very calm and patient. Strengthening social-emotional understanding and language skills, engendering the joys of reading and nature, walks and outdoor play are all part of what I do and genuinely enjoy doing. Seeing the proverbial light bulb go on when children connect the dots or discover something new is a true joy! In my experience children feel safest when there are clear expectations and boundaries. Sweet humor and positive reinforcement work best to keep things on track. Prior to Covid-19 I worked as a Family Assistant for two years. During the summer of 2021 my creativity and love of nature was put to good use as a nanny in Evanston for a family with children 4 and 7. I have several years’ experience at an on-call nanny agency on the North Shore where I provided care for a wide variety of children including those who are sensitive or have special needs. I have an AA degree plus two additional years of studies and am a life longer learner. I am a non-smoker with a driver's license and safe driving record plus current CPR certificate. Further, I am Covid-19 vaccinated, boosted and good to go! Let's explore together how I may be of service to you and your family. I welcome your questions!
