  About Me
 
If I had to describe myself in 3 words I would say energetic, optimistic and funny. Just a little bit about me starting with my family is that they are amazingly awesome. I am the youngest of 5 and have realized I was a bit of an oops. I have 3 brothers and a sister. I have been an aunt since I was 10 and now have 9 nieces and nephews and a great niece. I’m extremely close with my brothers and because of them I don’t think I would be the independent person that I am today. I grew up in a family where we did have rules and if not followed there were definite consequences. I was also brought up to be extremely polite and grateful for everything I did have growing up. One of the things that I would say I am so happy for is that I grew up in a sports athletic family. I grew up playing volleyball, basketball, baseball, track, dance and competitive cheerleading. My family was always behind me in the stands cheering me on. I am a fun person who always sees the cup half full and will find any bad situation to have a silver lining. I love being around children because they make the little things in life so great.

  Work Experience & Education Background
 
10 years experience, 3 references

I have been fortunate enough to have started babysitting at the age of 13. It started with helping moms while they were still at home and I as I grew up I was watching the kids alone. I have always enjoyed being around kids and especially love watching them grow up. I started to nanny while I was in college and continued to do so afterwards. I still was a nanny part time back home, and would love to find a new family here in Chicago. I have worked with children from 2 weeks old o 16. I have taught at several cheer camps and worked in an athletic club daycare. I love being around kids and have experienced the stressful days and had some amazing ones when they reached a milestone in their little life.

I always knew I was a people person and threw out high school new I wanted to go to cosmetology school. That however was not an option my parents agreed with so I enrolled in the University of Wisconsin-Stout. I honestly went there because I knew I would be cheering there. I studied dietetics and finally by the end of my junior year I just wasn’t happy. I then registered for my true passion, cosmetology. My parents were upset and it took them almost # years to realize I truly love what I do. I love making people feel great about themselves and getting to meet so many people with wonderful stories

I started watching Julies girls from the summer of 2001-2004. The only reason I left the family was due to starting my new career. I still keep in touch with the family today and cant believe how much the girls have grown up.

I started watching the Mergen kids while Paige was about 6 months. I then took on her little brother Colter. It was then that I realized a 1. 5 year old and new born is not an easy job. Lots of walks to the park.. I too left this family as I started my new adventure in Chicago. I too keep in touch with them because I have watched them pretty much since day one, and love seeing them grow up.
