Meet Elyssa

  • Comfortable with pets

I have worked as a babysitter for 15 years. I am a certified a babysitter through the Guilford, CT Parks and Recreation. I worked as a gate guard at a local lake for 8 years which required me to be certified in CPR and experienced with crisis management. I was also trained to use an EpiPen in case your child has allergies. I have experience as a tutor too, if your child needs homework help! I moved to Chicago three years ago and am employed full time downtown as an associate financial representative. However, before I moved I had the joy of nannying three wonderful children. I have always loved kids and miss having that excitement in my day which is why I am looking for another family to work with in the evenings and/or weekends. I am a responsible driver, organized and am always prompt. My current schedule also Read more allows me to be flexible if that is necessary. I have always loved kids and genuinely look forward to meeting yours. I hope to not only keep them entertained, but to also help them grow developmentally!
