About Vanessa

Hello family! I'm a warm, caring, and education-focused child care professional in the Northwest suburbs. I hold a Master's in Elementary Education with a Professional Educator's License, plus a Bachelor's in International & Latin American Studies and a Spanish minor. I have 13 years of ECE experience. My Gateways credentials are School-Age Level 5, ECE Level 2 (advancing), and IT Level 1 (advancing). This year I've completed 66 training hours including SIDS/safe-sleep, and I'm renewing my CPR/First Aid. I've led infant/toddler daycare rooms and nannied, incl. multiples. I currently care for four children ages 2-6, who I've been with since infancy. I'm expecting a baby in December and will need maternity leave. I'm seeking a family open to me bringing my baby along (a built-in playmate for your child!). Would love to find a family looking to make me and my child a long-term part of their family. I'd love to meet you, answer questions, and see if we're a great fit. Have a wonderful day!
