Hi! My name is Carol. I was an au pair, where I became part of a child's daily life and routine, and I've cared for kids from newborn to 12 years old. I'm comfortable adapting to different ages and needs, from newborn care to play, learning, and daily structure. My godson is on the autism spectrum, and being part of his life has taught me patience, empathy, and how to truly understand each child's unique needs. I'm nurturing, responsible, and very present, and I love creating a safe and warm environment for kids. I live in Chicago and would love to learn more about your family! Because I'm passionate about education and being part of their learning journey. Supporting their development, building their confidence, and helping them grow in a safe and structured environment is incredibly meaningful to me. I enjoy staying active by exercising and going for runs. I also love learning new things and exploring new hobbies, like playing the ukulele and the harmonica.
Carol took care of my son who was 4 months old when she started working with us. She took care of him for ~2 months before she relocated out of San Francisco. From the very first day she was very caring and affectionate towards my son. She would engage well with him, play with him, read him books, play music for him, take him for walks. She was protective of him and I never had to worry when my son was with her. She also helped with chores around the house such as doing my son's laundry, cleaning his bottles, cutting vegetables, etc. In particular, she did an excellent job of organizing his clothes! She was always on time and didn't miss a single day of work. Carol is very diligent in all that she does, and it's all because she really cares for the child that she's taking care of. We feel very fortunate that Carol was our son's first nanny - we would love the opportunity to work with her again.
