Hello! My name is Greta, and I have a passion for working with kids! I have been working in childcare for 6+ years. I was a nanny in High School for kids ages 3-13 years old. During college I worked as a Preschool Teacher working with 5-year-olds. I moved to Chicago after graduating college and was hired as a Lead Teacher in the 2-3-year-old room at L&L Academy. Having my own classroom and developing lesson plans taught me so much about nurturing kids through learning and creativity! I graduated from the University of Iowa in 2025 with a BA in Psychology and a BFA in Photography. I have found that my love of working with kids has led me to aspire to work as a child therapist! I will attend graduate school to get my Master's in Social Work. In my free time I play tennis, do yoga, play the violin, go on bike rides, and make jewelry! I love being active and creative with kids. I'm looking to be a full time nanny this summer and I'm open to all ages!
Great is truly so gentle and amazing with kids! She showed me kiddos so much love and care and made me always feel comfortable leaving them with her!! Greta is great!
