Some of our Nannies

	AnnaMarie I believe that growing up loving and respecting oneself is the greatest building block for success and happiness for a person in any aspect of life. I am proud of who I am. I am firm in my beliefs, compassionate, kind, and loving. These are all qualities that should resonate with any young person.
	Megan I began working with children in high school when I volunteered as a figure skating coach for the Special Olympics. Twice a week I would teach mentally challenged students from the ages of 6-12 how to ice skate. It was an incredibly rewarding experience, especially after seeing how much the children enjoyed themselves. To be able to work with students again would be such a reward for me.

Heather I am passionate about working with and teaching children. For the past three years, I have worked in the Chicago Public Schools with middle school students who have learning disabilities, emotional disorders, as well as autism. I have valued working with children inside and outside of the classroom. During summers, weekends, and graduate school, I have enjoyed being a nanny for different families and giving swimming lessons. While teaching in the classroom is a great joy and challenge, I am also interested in additional opportunities to work with children.
