I've always had a passion for childcare; From helping out with infants to driving teenagers to summer camp, working as a nanny is my absolute favorite job. I've worked as a long-term nanny as well as the occasional babysitter. I recently graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with an emphasis on painting, textiles, and sculpture, and i'm working towards becoming a teacher. I'm also a dancer, with experience in musical theatre and the performing arts, as well as a passionate swimmer and hiker. I enjoy sharing my love of creativity and art, as well as my love for the outdoors, with kids, and I'm always excited to play games or come up with fun things to do on those long summer days. I frequently babysit children with serious allergies and feel very comfortable in high pressure situations. I'm enthusiastic, responsible, and look forward to meeting you Read more and your kids!
