About Lorena

Experience: 8 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Greetings! My name is Lorena and for the past 5+ years, I have been working in childcare services around Chicago & it's surrounding suburbs. This has ranged from working in early childhood development organizations as well as working independently for families of various communities and cultures. As a Chicago native, I have had an affinity for children at an early age. I loved babysitting my nieces and nephews, especially during the summer days doing various activities. I enjoy being a nanny; seeing the children I interact with as my own, it is the most rewarding and fulfilling job for me. Children are a blessing, as they bring joy & hope in my life & are a constant reminder of patience. I consider myself to be a hard working, fast learning and self reliant individual & am not afraid to take on new challenges, while being open to learning new skills. To conclude as a sidenote: I am Covid-19 vaccinated, have a valid DL and my own means of transportation.

Apologies for the delayed review. Lorena provided 4 days a week help to us out between late September 2020 to April 2021, as COVID concerns remain high. She had her own transport, wore a mask during her help at our house, and was diligent in keeping up with hygiene. It was critical as it gave us peace of mind and the kids and us stayed healthy during the period. She was also attentive towards our 3 and 1.5 year old, using simple materials and her creativity to form art and craft exercises to teach basic alphabet, shapes, colors and numbers. Her help in enforcing a schedule and teaching age appropriate skills like wearing a jacket, using potty, etc. are appreciated. In addition, she taught the kids basic Spanish, and took them out to neighborhood strolls where weather permits. They still remember the fun moments with Lorena. While her stay was brief due to scheduling conflicts we appreciate her help.
