About Caren
Experience: 10 yrs
Thank you so much for looking at my profile! I have over 15 years of experience working as a nanny/babysitter, a BA in Early Childhood Education, and I'm currently working as a preschool teacher in Logan Square. While most of my experience is with infants and young children I have cared for children of all ages. I truly love teaching and playing with children and I enjoy planning meaningful and fun experiences for the children I care for - exploring, being active and playing outside as well as creative and artistic exploration indoors. I have so many engaging arts and crafts projects to share! I'm energetic, nurturing, and passionate about providing the best care possible. While I love playing games, doing art, and having fun with children, I'm also very mature, patient and responsible. I will always ensure that your children are safe and cared for to your specifications. If you're a wonderful family looking for a great nanny/babysitter, I would love to hear from you!
Most recent review
Caren is a total gem. She is prompt, communicative, kind, and responsible -- all the basics. But Caren is far above and beyond the basics: She brought a toy bag of age-appropriate toys (new ones each day!) for my daughter, took her on little adventures around town, and bonded with her even though we were only with her three days. She's an artist and a professional school teacher, so has a sense of creativity and kid-centered ethos that is unparalleled. Highly highly recommend. Thank you Caren!
