About Athena
Experience: 8 yrs
Hi, I'm Athena! I'm an infant nanny and preschool teacher passionate about art, music, and outdoor education. I'm looking for full or part time work in Chicago beginning in January. My approach is patient, friendly, and creative. My number one priority is making sure your child feels safe and loved. I have a degree in developmental psychology, with experience as an infant nanny as well as caring for kids with autism and special needs. With infants, I'm comfortable with transitioning to solids and consulting on nap and sleep routines. I'm trained in Reggio-inspired early childhood education, meaning I focus on fostering your child's natural curiosity and create developmentally-appropriate lesson plans based on their interests. This includes music, outdoor time, sensory activities, child-led play, and process art (screen time is a big no from me). I am certified in Infant First Aid/CPR and I have my own vehicle. I look forward to connecting with your family!
Most recent review
Athena babysat my 7-year old daughter and she raved about how interactive she was during the stay. She was punctual and communicated throughout the night on how things were going, which put me at ease with this being her first time watching her. I would use her again. Athena was great and reliable.
