Hi!! I'm a 23 year old mom with 1 year old baby girl. My ideal situation would be to find a family that I can provide care for their baby/child while being able to bring my own baby with - this would make my schedule open and flexible and able to accommodate whatever schedule you already have in place. I understand and respect that not all parents would want this situation. I would even be open to babysitting at my own apartment (already baby proofed!) Currently me and my husband are in a situation where neither of our families are able to provide help when it comes to watching our baby so it has made things a little tough when figuring out work schedules. A little more about me: My baby's name is Violeta. She is such an active and adventurous baby. I think I’m just chasing her around the Read more house 90% of the time! (But hey at least it’s helping me stay in shape right?!) Now that it's finally getting warm again we try to spend as much time as we can outside at the park or on walks with our dog Lee. Aside from caring for my own daughter I've been babysitting since high school - kids of various ages. I previously lived with my niece from the time she was born until about 2 years old. At the time I also regularly babysat for a family nearby who's girls were in elementary school. All ages are fun and have their own unique challenges. I ADORE dogs, so if you have one that's great because we'll probably become best friends. I attended UIC but am originally from the suburbs. I'm very into cycling around the city so I feel perfectly comfortable navigating as well as driving in city traffic. Me and my husband even run our own cycling team. Drawing is also a big hobby of mine so I'm always up for arts and crafts. Please reach out to me if there's any questions about anything! Like I said, I understand not all parents would want their sitter to bring their own child. I'd be more than happy to provide shot records or anything else you'd need. I work on the weekends at a retail store but am available full time Monday - Friday.
