I have lived in Chicago for 7 years, originally from Minnesota! I have 13 nieces and nephews back home so love spreading "auntie love". I am very flexible with adapting to parents needs and desires. I have 20 years of experience and I can help with travel and carpooling.

I have experience with two daughters and multiple care of children throughout my years of being a mother. I’m highly interested in the safety and well being of children. I enjoy cooking healthy snacks and dinners. I enjoy having the children outside to experience the city and the greenery; including snowy days. I believe our children are the best investment in life. I believe in the importance of guiding them to be the best of themselves, to enjoy life and to be responsible of their acts, and to educating them that every decision has its effect. I have a full grown daughter and also a 7 year old. I’m proud of my job as a mom. I enjoy being active, the nature and connect well with people in all backgrounds. I’m creative and well coordinated. I dance often, I recently started lap swim, and I’m back at playing volleyball once a week. My availability in the morning will be from 8:30-4pm during the week. But I can accommodate. I’m also offering sporadic weekend hours for date nights etc.

I recently moved to Chicago upon completion of my degree in dance through the Alonzo King Lines Ballet. Throughout the last 7 years, I have built up a plethora of experience nannying families of all types in an effort to support my professional dance journey. I've worked with families with up to four children, as well cared for families with kids as young as newborns and as old as teenagers (both in part-time and full-time capacities). Additionally, I have extensive experience with kids with disabilities. In all these roles, I have been known for building genuine connections, maintaining organization, and stepping in wherever needed! Whether it be niche tasks you ask to be fulfilled or little things you didn't even know you needed taking care of, I bring a thoughtful, caring, and hands-on approach to care. I am looking forward to helping families in the area and growing my range of community here in a new city. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! I am happy to provide more information about myself as well as a number of references and a full caretaking resume at your request.
