About Lorena

Experience: 6 yrs

Greetings! My name is Lorena, and I have over 6 years of childcare experience in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. My background includes working in early childhood education settings and providing personalized care for families from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and communities. As a Chicago native, I've loved caring for children from a young age. Some of my favorite memories are spending summers babysitting my nieces and nephews, planning fun activities, and making lasting memories together. Becoming a nanny has allowed me to turn that passion into a career. I care for the children I work with as if they were my own, and I find it incredibly rewarding to watch them learn, grow, and build confidence. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported and families have peace of mind knowing their little ones are in caring, capable hands.

Simply put, we could not have asked for a better nanny for our child than Lorena. She joined our family when our baby girl was just a 3- month old infant, and looked after her until she was an 18-month old toddler. Over that time she became an integral part of our family and helped our daughter through key developmental and physical milestones (crawling, walking, first words, transition to solids, etc. She was extremely attentive to our daughter and was always looking for new ways to keep her mentally stimulated and engaged. This included using toys/books we had in addition to bringing her own toys and books that went beyond what we even thought of! As first time, WFH, working parents, we knew we needed a nanny that could work with, and along side us day in and day out. From her first day, Lorena was caring, understanding and flexible in working with us to ensure that we were providing the best environment for our daughter. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!
