I moved to Chicago from Poland 25 years ago with an MA in Education/Culture. My first job as a nanny was with a lovely newborn baby girl I watched until she was 5 y. o. and started preschool. Our favorite activities included listening to music and dancing-my biggest passion. After evaluating my foreign credentials in the U. S., I completed classes in early childhood development and psychology. I worked as a coordinator in an after school program. A few years later, I earned a second degree in Linguistics and taught in China and S. Korea. Upon my return, I was a live in nanny for a 1 y. o. girl, 4 y. o. boy and his 9 y. o. brother. As an educator and caregiver, I enjoy creating stimulating environment for, love cultures/ languages, and have strong writing skills. I can help with homework in these areas. Professionally, I have been an adjunct instructor. I am looking to return to babysitting to foster human connections and contribute my energy to younger generation.
