Meet Leigh

  • Comfortable with pets

I am a 26-year-old living in Chicago with 10+ years of babysitting experience. I have two younger sisters who are now 16 and 18 years old. Due to the our age difference, I have had many opportunities to babysit for the families of my sisters' friends since I was 13 years old. I started as a "mommy's helper" and now babysit regularly. I sit for children of all ages, to-date, the youngest being 3 month old twin girls and the oldest a 13 year old boy. I am a very active babysitter who enjoys going to the park, creating art projects, playing outside and fun board games. I am also a neat freak and will leave your house spotless. Over the years I have not only babysit for 1 to 7 children at a time, I have also helped plan and execute children's parties, nanny (full-time summer job), have babysat Read more over night multiple times and volunteered at a grade school reading program where I taught a first-grader. I love working with and watching children. Since my sisters and I have such an age difference, I have developed very "motherly" skills kids. I have a great deal of patience and can work with / watch children of all ages. I am trustworthy, friendly but firm when necessary, attentive, responsible, organized, fun / playful, energetic and tenacious.
