I have been babysitting for over 20 years and have watched children ages 3 weeks to 12 years old. I have worked in three different day cares, all in the infant room. I have also babysat for over 250 families. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED, renewed February 2022. I have used this on one occasion to save a life. I have been vaccinated for covid in March and April 2021, and received a covid booster in November 2021. Please rest assured I will get a second covid booster as soon as available! I have also had a flu shot in September 2021, and a tdap in February 2022. I have come to believe that the core of child care is truly loving kids and helping them become the best versions of themselves. I learn something new from each child I have the privilege of babysitting, and most of all, I love getting the opportunity to nurture kids when they are young! I'm also actively involved in the Second City Acting program. I absolutely love engaging children in creative role-play! Finally, I also teach in the Northwestern Program for Gifted Students. I love making learning fun, and it is my dream to open an empowerment institute for kids one day. Please note I do not have after school availability at this time.

Hello, I'm Jude! I am CPR and first aid certified and have been working in professional childcare for just under a year, though I've babysat since I was a teenager. I work well with children of all ages, though my experience is mostly with infant to preschool aged children. I can assist in potty training as well as sleep training and I have plenty of experience with changing diapers, handling more than one child at once, housekeeping while making sure children are watched and making sure children have age appropriate entertainment or educational material!

I began babysitting for family friends when I was around 15 or 16 years old. During this time, I cared for children of various ages, including a child with special needs who was particularly energetic. This experience taught me patience and adaptability, as well as how to create a supportive and engaging environment for children. Later, I worked at a startup daycare where I cared for children age ranges from 6months-8years olds. My responsibilities included: • Preparing healthy snacks • Managing nap times • Organizing playtime and educational activities • Reading stories and engaging in fun activities • Building trust and connections with the children to help them feel comfortable and secure while their parents were away

I love being a sitter because I enjoy creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where children can learn and feel comfortable. I have experience working with children as a Teacher Assistant, where I supported daily routines, planned activities, and provided individualized care, along with additional experience coordinating and supervising groups in community settings. I bring strong organizational, communication, and multitasking skills, and I am CPR and First Aid certified with childcare training in Iowa. I’m also fluent in French and Lingala, which helps me connect with diverse families, and I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and attentive.
