Experience: 20 yrs
For two decades, I've had the joy of nurturing young minds and creating enriching experiences for children. My passion for fostering growth and development led me to childcare, building upon positive experiences in previous babysitting roles. I am committed to making a positive impact on children's lives. I bring a patient, creative, and friendly approach to every interaction. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and puzzles with children. I am comfortable caring for one child, ages 0-11, including toddlers. I communicate with parents using their preferred method, providing regular updates. I also follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules. I have attended some college and am fluent in both English and Spanish. I am certified in CPR and First Aid. Knowing I can provide a safe, fun, and supportive environment for your little one brings me immense satisfaction.
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!
