My name is Grace Cullen and I am a Senior at the University of Iowa. I live in Old Irving Park, which is about 10 minutes from downtown Chicago. I am looking for a part-time, full-time, or an occasional babysitting gig since I am living in Chicago and this seemed perfect for both of us! Regarding my recent work experience - over the summers, I work as the Senior/Lead Camp Counselor at the Latin School of Chicago's Summer Camp with 4 and 5 year olds, which is always so much fun! At Latin Camp my duties are to make daily lesson plans that keep the kids active, engaged, and safe at all times. We enjoyed a lot of outside time and learned many new things! At school in Iowa City my Sophomore year, I worked at Kids Depot Day Care Center in the infant room - the babies were adorable! Read more In the infant room, there were ten babies total between the ages of 8 weeks to 14 months old. I fed, changed, played with, bathed, sanitized, cleaned, and read to the ten babies on a daily basis! Lastly, I regularly nanny for two different families whenever I am home for breaks/in the summer, however, these families are no longer living in Chicago at the moment due to what is going on unfortunately. I would love to go into more detail about my experience if this works out! I have been working with kids for about seven years now, which has been amazing! Extra notes: I am CPR / First Aid certified! I also love animals, going on walks/getting outdoors, reading, etc! I am also very Covid-19 cautious as I have older parents. Thank you!
