Meet Colleen

I am mother of a beautiful 6 year old girl who I tend for daily. I realize the struggle of finding a sitter is not as easy. I have worked with children since I was 12 years old and truly enjoy working with kids. I love that no child is the same and that each are different in their own way. I started working with kids at a local day camp (River Park) for two summers before attending school and continuing my education. I later joined a wonderful company by the name of Right At School and oversaw hundreds of students and staff members during recess as well as after school to ensure their safety, educate students by using enriching activities, tutoring while having fun. I enthralled myself in my work as well talked to other parents like myself daily which led to many of current relationships with other parents. Read more After working at Right at School for two years, I continued using my experience at the Jewish Community Center Apachi Day Camp. I oversaw, actively engaged, guided children using positive resolutions and ultimately made sure that everyday was just as fun as the day before. I would love to continue my career tending to children and making sure that they have a bright start for their future. If possible, allowing my child to be apart of my sitting service would increase my availability. All in all, I plan to continue my education with hopes to become a pediatric physical therapist with the goal of finishing my degree at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
