Greetings Families in Chicago, my name is Joan! I've been working with children for about half of my life! I have a social work background with agencies at a broader scale, helping families find basic needs/ services; started doing daycare before undergrad/ college & returned to do private/ nannying a couple of years ago, at the first opening phase of the Pandemic! I've had three boys I cared for since, from 4 months to almost three years, which I can give further detail on at a later time! In addition to attending to baby's/ infant's/ toddler's needs, I can assist around the house with basic everyday common area chores, errands, and taking your children on fun excursions! I have some early childhood education courses, both in-person and on-line for extended certifications, am CPR/ First-Aid Certified, a non-smoker, pet-friendly & COVID-Cautious, limiting large crowds & keeping up with all vaccinations. Part Read more of my philosophy is to shadow a child, making sure they are safe & allowing them freedom in exploration & expression thru nurturing & creating a safe environment! People I usually work with say I exceed/ go beyond expectations! References and other/ supporting documentation can be provided once we establish rapport... JC
