Hello! My name is Lisa and I'm from Park Ridge, Illinois. A few months ago I returned from Moscow, Russia where I worked as an English Teacher and a live-in governess/nanny. I completed a nine-month on-site ESL program and after a year of working with children 4-16 in the classroom, I decided to go private and begin working as a private tutor which then led me to governess work. I have worked with children as young as 2 and I have experience living with families. I am a very responsible person and a natural caretaker and working with children is my passion. In the next few years, I plan on attending graduate school and getting a Early Education Teaching Certificate. When I work with children, I maintain the structure of their days, while adding fun and creativity. I love dancing, doing art projects, baking, exploring, checking out new places and Read more being silly with the kids. I care a great deal about my work and I hope to find a family I can really fit into.
