I have Nanny experience with multiple children of all different ages, including infant, tots, toddlers, school-age and teens. I also have experience working in several child-care facilities. At University of Montana I have studied Elementary Education, Psychology, Child Development, and Social Work. I have also been a Respite Provider for children. I have been a live-in hospice care-giver and Respite Provider. In addition, I love animals.. I have dog sitting and dog walking experience. I currently own one dog and care for another in my home. I am an organized and clean person, I have catering and house cleaning experience. I actually enjoy cleaning. I recently moved back to Illinois from Montana where I was attending college. I currently live with my aunt and cousins. I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and the dogs. I like meeting new people. I am a creative person who enjoys arts and crafts, projects, theatre, dancing, reading and writing. I am an energetic, caring, honest, reliable, compassionate, and kind person. My mission in life is using my skills, knowledge, personality, talents and passions to make a positive difference in the world one step at a time.

Work Experience & Education Background |

As an infant I was adopted by my grandparents. Having been raised by my grandparents, who had very active social lives, I am comfortable around the elderly. I also believe I have a good understanding of different wants and needs they may have, depending on his or her own unique situation. I enjoy helping others and elderly care comes naturally to me. In middle school I was in Glee Club and I would volunteer to sing for the elderly at nursing homes, in Laporte Indiana. In High-School I did volunteer work at Merry Manor nursing home, In Laporte, Indiana. I have taken many Psychology/Social Work courses that have provided me with educational background involving Aging, the elderly, Care-giving, and hospice work. I was also a live-in hospice provider for my grandmother. This experience showed me that not only can I handle this line of work, but I am passionate about it. Recently, I have been providing relief and help for an elderly woman whose husband has chosen hospice at home. I have also had some training for hospice work and caring for the elderly. I intend to provide care for the elderly in any way possible. If I do not know how to do something, I am willing to learn. I believe it is extremely important for the elderly to have honest, reliable, intelligent, and patient care-givers. This is the type of person who I am striving to be and care-giving is more tan just a job for me, it is a passion. |

She has also referred me to several friends who I have performed House Manager/House Keeper/Cleaning/Child Care and pet care duties for upon request. I worked for her in her home in Hinsdale, Illinois. I have been both a live-in and live-out employee of hers at different times depending on our current life situations. I have been providing care for her and her home for years when I have been available and needed. We have developed a great professional relationship. |
