Hello, my name is Brittany. The struggle of finding the balance between parenting and working is no easy feat! I am a reliable and sweet nanny located in Palatine, Illinois. Children have always been a large part of my professional background. I graduated with honors from Northeastern Illinois University with a degree in Psychology and a concentration in Abnormal Psych and Child Development. My past experience includes working in the children's literature section of the Park Ridge Public Library running and coordinating activities and programs such as the Reading Patch club. I have worked in the service industry for 15 years at Red Robin. I've dealt with every picky eater you can imagine. Sick kids. And every allergy. As the shift leader and head learning coach of my front-of-the-house service and host staff, it was my sole responsibility to make sure everyone was fully trained in the appropriate safety measures Read more when placing orders for clientele with food sensitivities and severe allergies such as peanut and shellfish. I have nannied for various families over the course of the last fifteen years with duties ranging from meal prep including gluten-free cooking, to coordinating outings like amusement parks, ice-skating, local library events, and museums. Other important activities included homework aid and natural environment teaching (I have previously tutored and enjoy teaching), Disney movie sing-a-longs, so many Lego builds, and bedtime routines. I am currently an ABA therapist specialized in the care and behavior plan implementation of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder ranging from ages 2 to 10 years old with varying degrees of self-injurious maladaptive behaviors. My client responsibilities include food toleration, nail clipping toleration, hair cut toleration, skill acquisition, functional communication training, natural environment teaching, social skill development, implementing nervous system regulation techniques, fine motor skill development activities, potty training, and ASL Level 1 teaching. I am excited to help ease your stress in any way I can while creating a fun and safe environment for your little ones. I offer full-time and part-time live-out nanny services, and I charge $25.00 hourly. I am very open to any specific needs your child has as well as to the days and hours you need to make your life easier! Feel free to message me by phone or email at anytime of the day. I look forward to hearing from you!

Brittany is a kind and caring sitter. She was attentive to and creative with my girls. She kept everyone on schedule, taking care of school pickup and snack time and taking the girls to activities. She even arranged a few playdates and came up with creative projects to keep afternoons exciting and engaging.
