Hi! I am fun, caring, and reliable. Experienced with infants to age 13 for many wonderful families. Volunteered at the Northshore Evanston Hospital in the maternity ward assisting mothers and their newborns - feeding, calming/soothing them. Very comfortable with daily meal prepping, and creating a structured environment to help with school work, and I enjoy coming up with fun activities to assist with growth. I decided to become a sitter because I get joy out of spending time with kids, be a part of their development, and love to be helpful by doing additional chores around the house (laundry, dishes, cleaning, running errands) just to help the parent(s) as much as possible. It's in my nature. I am also an experienced Nanny/House Manager where I am collaborative to work with domestic staff (e. g., full-time housekeeper) and directly with principals on a daily basis. I am very much OK with pets. I had a cat for 14 years and now have a dog who is my buddy. I also speak Greek fluently.

Anastasia came highly recommended to me by my cousins, the C. Family. This was extremely reassuring and trustworthy, given that family provided this referral. My boys, ages 4 & 2 1/2, have grown to know, trust and love Anastasia as a caretaker. She babysits for our family when we do occasional date nights or short stay-cations in the city. Anastasia is very kind, patient, excited and energetic with the children. She has a nurturing nature about her, which allows the kids to feel comfortable with her as well. Aside from preparing meals, Anastasia also assists with homework assignments and is excellent at art!
