Hello there! I'm Gwen, and I am currently a graduate student studying Speech-Language Pathology at Rush University. I graduate with my Master's degree at the end of this April, and I am looking to be a summer nanny in the Chicago area (I live in Wicker Park). I've been told I'm very patient, energetic, friendly, and nurturing. I have experience with behavioral management, working with children who are neurodiverse, and I am especially interested in nurturing language, speech, and social-emotional growth in children. The development, safety, happiness, and overall well-being of your child(ren) will be my priority. I am available to work mid-May through the end of July with full-time weekday hours. I have previous experience nannying for children of all ages, including infants as young as two months. I enjoy being creative and brainstorming fun games and crafts. I am comfortable with light housework and meal prep. I am Read more fully vaccinated against Covid, have up-to-date vaccinations in all areas, and hold a current infant and adult CPR and first aid certification via American Heart Association. In addition, I have my own vehicle for transportation if needed. Please contact me for your summer nanny needs! I look forward to speaking with you!
