I live in Oak Park, am physically fit, have a good sense of humor. I will be starting a full-time nanny job in January, but am available days or evenings through the end of the year for child care and pet care. After December 31, I will be available only on week-ends. I have cared for children from newborn to teenager, including a child with Type 1 diabetes. I have experience as baby sitter as well as providing elder care for a parent. I love animals and have previously been a pet parent. I have a work history with a variety of non-profits, including working for Special Olympics for 7 years. There I learned more from the athletes than they ever learned from me. Patience, commitment, perspective about what is important--as well as the challenges faced by individuals with special needs and their families. I have also watched out-of-state family members struggle to find safe, reliable nannies so they can confidently go to their jobs with the knowledge that their child is in good hands. I am one of the people they have trusted with their newborn. When friends have to travel, they often call on me for pet care because they know I love animals. I would like to work full-time or part-time. I have a flexible schedule that would allow day, evening or some week-end work, occasional overnight if needed.
