About Jamie
I am twenty-nine. After many years of going to school and nannying I found my dream job as a medical assistant for a large Dermatology practice in Lakeview and Park Ridge. I find myself longing to babysit during my free time more often. I am available on the weekends day/night. I have found many families on sittercity that have sadly moved to the suburbs.

I am twenty-nine. After many years of going to school and nannying I found my dream job as a medical assistant for a large Dermatology practice in Lakeview and Park Ridge. I find myself longing to babysit during my free time more often. I am available on the weekends day/night. I have found many families on sittercity that have sadly moved to the suburbs.
I would love to cook for/with your children, I'm comfortable driving your car, taking mine and know my way around on public transportation, I love to get out and explore when we can and am interested in building long lasting relationships with your family.
I am the kind of babysitter that will be creative on a long day stuck inside due to weather, make their weekend evenings memorable, read to them, make believe with them and have them asking for me to come back again!
I have current Advanced Life Support and CPR/Infant CPR/First Aid certification. I am also an Emergency Medical Technician. I have amazing references that would love to talk with you.
Reviews & References
Jamie sat for my 2 girls ages 1 and 3 last night for the first time and she was amazing! She even got the girls out of the house and walked to a local restaurant for dinner - the restaurant scene with toddlers is not an easy task for a parent let alone a new babysitter! My 3 year old has been talking about Jamie all day. She was extremly kind, outgoing, on-time and the house was spotless when we got home. Hope to be able to use her again! - Katherine M.
Jamie says: Babysitting for Elizabeth and Julia was great! They were so loving and fun to be around. I thought that it was going to be hard to get to know them and for them to open up seeing as I was there for the first time! But, the kids were just so open and easy going. These two girls are not only beautiful but amazingly sweet! I would recommend this family to anyone if I'm not avalible to sit for them! Can't wait for summer to take them out to see what this city has to offer!

Jamie was great. She watched our two kids and they had a great time. She was very comfortable with her and she just jumped right in. I hate to give such a great review, she may be too busy for us in the future! BRY - Bruce Y.

Jamie has watched our 18 month old daughter several times, and she is incredible! She's very comfortable around small children, and is very interactive. I would highly recommend Jamie. - Ashley D.

My kids are not normally happy the night we have a sitter BUT that has all changed thanks to Jamie!! My son (4) asks if she can come play everyday. And my daughter (2) who is shy of her own shadow warmed up to Jamie immediately. No more tears!! I only see her smile with Jamie. We love Jamie. - Renee M.

Jamie was terrific with our son. He typically starts to cry when he sees the sitter coming but this was the first time he did not cry. He had so much fun with Jamie that he kept asking for her to come back and play. We highly recommend Jamie. - Carly E.

Jamie is a fabulous sitter! She really engaged my children while she was here and I know that for sure because my kids always ask if Jamie can come and sit for us again. She is also very professional, asked all of the right questions and I felt very secure leaving my children in her capable and caring hands. I would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter; she would be an excellent choice for a longer, more regular sitting job. - Kate W.

Jamie responded quickly to my first message, and based on what she said I was very excited to meet her. I messaged her back and she didn't respond. I sent her one more message letting her know I was setting up times for interviews this week, and she told me she would call me on Sunday, but I haven't heard from her since. If you say you're interested in a job, and then decide you're not, just please let us moms know. It's difficult to find someone to entrust to our children. When we connect with you and don't hear from you, it's frustrating. Communication and being upfront are two very important qualities in someone who cares for children. - Annette K.
Jamie says: Annette, I am just seeing this now as sittercity doesn't inform us when we have a new review so I just came across it. I am so sorry we lost touch in April. I am not sure what happened. I agree highly with you that being upfront and communicating are two very important things between a caregiver and your family. Again I apologize for any frustration I caused you and hope you found someone great to care for your children! Sincere apologies, Jamie
