Hello everyone! My name is Christy! I am originally from Orlando, FL, but I am currently living in Chicago, IL. I 've been working with children of all ages for over 10 years. During that time, I've served as a tutor, babysitter, child development specialist, teacher, and volunteer. I knew working with children was my passion so I decided to pursue a Bachelors of Science in Early Childhood Development and Education at the University of Central Florida. I graduated with my B.S. in December of 2013 and moved to Illinois a few months later to pursue my Masters degree in Human Development and Family Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I am currently living in Chicago, IL where I am pursuing a MSW (Masters of Social Work) at the Erikson Institute of Child Development. I currently work at Erikson Part-time as a Facilitator for the Calm Classroom program, Read more which is a mindfulness-based social and emotional learning program for children in Kindergarten-second grade. I am looking for some work babysitting as a backup babysitter. I have worked with children from 6 weeks old-16 years of age and am very flexible in my schedule. I am first aid/CPR certified. I am also a fitness enthusiast and I love being active! Additionally, I enjoy cooking, baking and doing arts and crafts. I truly understand that parents want to leave their children with someone that is trustworthy, dependable, and knowledgeable about child development. I'd love the opportunity to work with you! Please contact me if your interested. I'd be happy to provide my resume and references.
