About Lastenia
Experience: 10 yrs
For two decades, I've embraced my passion for nurturing young minds and positively impacting children's lives. My approach is patient, creative, and friendly, and I strive to support families by providing reliable care. I have experience with children aged 3 months- 5 years old. I am comfortable caring for one child at a time. I have taken Early Child Development Coursework and CDA ( Infant/Toddler) I'm certified in First Aid Training and CPR Training. I enjoy engaging children with outdoor sports, board games, and puzzles. I communicate with parents through verbal updates at pickup and regular texts or phone calls. I always follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules. I'm eager to bring my experience and dedication to your family, helping your child thrive while offering you peace of mind.
Most recent review
Lastenia (Nena) is the best! She was the full-time nanny for our son for 4 years (1-5). We continue to use Nena for baby-sitting. She is patient and kind and funny and creative. She has a wonderful community of nannies in the Oak Park/River Forest/Forest Park/etc. area, so our son always had playmates and socialization. We could completely trust her to drive our son to and from activities/preschool. She followed the schedule. She started with us 1 year into COVID, and she took every precaution to keep our son and herself safe. She will be a great nanny to her next family!
