About Desiree

Experience: 13 yrs

I'd describe my personality as patient, creative, and compassionate. I love helping children build confidence through play, creativity, and everyday learning. Every child is different, and I enjoy discovering what helps them thrive. I'm looking for a kind, communicative family seeking dependable daytime care. I've worked professionally with children since 2012 and have been a nanny for the same Chicago family since 2013. In my spare time, I like to read, write children's stories, explore Chicago's museums and libraries, garden, create cosplay, and spend time outdoors. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, respected, and truly seen. My top 3 child care skills include creating engaging educational activities, building consistent routines and positive behavior support, and supporting neurodivergent children with patience and individualized care.

Desiree is an amazing caregiver who is wonderful with children of all ages. She is patient, caring, dependable, and genuinely takes the time to understand each child's individual needs and personality. She creates a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. What I appreciate most about Desiree is how naturally she connects with children. She is attentive, responsible, and always makes sure the children are happy, safe, and taken care of. I would highly recommend Desiree to any family looking for someone they can trust with their children. She is someone you can feel confident leaving your children with, knowing they are in good hands!
