I am currently a nanny for a family in Oak Park. I live in the Wicker Park/Ukrainian Village area. My five year career with this family is coming to a close in 2 weeks as the children are in school all day and the children's father is starting a new job in which he will get home in time to pick them up. I have taken excellent care of these two children since they were 1 and 3 years old. now they are 6 and 8. Time just flies by. I have one semester left to get my BFA in Musical Theatre Performance with a minor in Classical Voice. My hope is to go on to graduate school where I will earn a masters degree and teaching certificate for early childhood education. All of the families I have encountered during my years as a nanny will tell you that I am "The World's Greatest Nanny" or "Mary Poppins". I take pride in being able to engage with children in educational and fun activities. It is very rare for the TV to be on when I am caring for the children. I sing songs, play games, dance, go to the park, help with homework, and give nurturing guidance and lots of love. I will provide you with a list of several references at your request. Please feel free to call, text, or email me anytime. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your precious children. I could not have come upon your posting at a more appropriate time. I hope to hear from you ASAP.
