Hello, my name is Trish. I grew up in Michigan and I am from a family of 8 kids. My mom was my "nanny." She did it all while my dad worked. She is the reason I became a nanny. I'm 52 years old, I live in Lake Bluff I have a fun, warm personality. I'm dependable and trustworthy. I live a life simply where I enjoy doing outdoor activities when the weather lets me, walking, bike riding. I love arts and crafts. I take a class in painting in watercolors. I like to take the train into the city and take in a musical and a museum. My gift is caring for kids from newborns to teenagers. All my knowledge, caring and teaching kids is hands-on experience. I was 15 years old when I started in the world of being a nanny. They were newborn twins. So here I am today - enjoying being a nanny. Being a nanny is my calling, I'm here to give a family peace of mind. Plus, I'm also a great housekeeper, and a pet sitter.

Pat was a nanny for my newborn baby and one year old for about 1 - 2 years starting in 1992. She was also a housekeeper for us. My memories of Pat are that she was very reliable, clean, honest, caring, and hard-working. She was a talented artist and very attentive to my babies. She enjoyed taking them on walks and although they were little she played with them. My children are now 21 and 22 years old and have turned out to be wonderful, intelligent and confident young adults. I wish Pat the best both personally and professionally!
