Hello! I grew up in the Chicagoland area, but in 2015 I made the big move west to Los Angeles! I work as a production assistant after getting my film degree at Columbia College Chicago, and I love babysitting to fill up my time when I'm not busy with a production! *currently only interested in newborn/infant/baby clients at this time! Trying to keep it extra safe. ****I require all in the families I sit for who are eligible to be vaccinated and extremely covid conscious! ****I have a four hour minimum on weekdays unless you are a regular family of mine and we have discussed it previously. *****I also have a policy of being paid for the entire time I'm booked. Thank you! I have a range of experience with children. I started off mother's helping, then grew to have many families I regularly babysat as they grew up! I've also handled many children working at Vacation Bible School, and I worked for about a year and a half at a preschool. I have also been a full time au pair in Spain for two children. On set I’m often in care of minors, aiding the school teacher in the safety and care of the kids. Children teach me so much about patience, understanding, creativity, and being open-minded - things that I feel I often lose when living in such a fast-paced city area with people only my age. I always look forward to seeing children grow in even the little ways of life. I consider myself very energetic and enthusiastic, so children are often a perfect fit to my overall temperament. I'm also very calm and patient, so I stay level-headed in crazy situations. I am very eager to hear from all of you and meet you and your children!

With over 16 years of childcare experience, I bring a wealth of expertise to every family I work with. As a dedicated nanny for multiple years, I've had the pleasure of nurturing children from various backgrounds and ages, fostering their growth and development in safe and loving environments. My experience extends to providing overnight care, ensuring both the children and parents feel confident and secure. Beyond traditional childcare roles, I've spent 5 years as a children's party entertainer, embodying multiple well-known princesses, superheroes, and other characters. This experience has equipped me with creative and engaging activities to spark joy and imagination in every child. Additionally, I am a passionate private lessons teacher for voice and piano, having taught numerous children and witnessing their musical talents blossom. My background as a summer camp counselor and tutoring experience further enriches my ability to connect with and inspire young minds. I excel at engaging children through crafts, imagination play, and music, while also offering homework help to support their academic journey. I also have experience with a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and more. I am committed to providing exceptional care and support to your family, creating meaningful and memorable experiences for your children.
