I am a second grade teacher in Chicago. I have been a teacher for five years and have taught first, second, and third grade. Before becoming a certified teacher I worked for an outdoor environmental school where I taught and cared for kids between the ages of six and 18. The majority of my babysitting experience has been for kids between the ages of newborn and 5 years old. I have over 15 years of babysitting and childcare experience and am very comfortable with feeding, bathing, and bedtime/nap time routines. I am very active and love to play games, use imagination, color and do crafts, and read stories aloud. When the weather is nice, I enjoy being outside. I listen carefully to directions and communicate well with parents to ensure that we are both comfortable with the environment. I am infant and child CPR and first aid certified, and I Read more am extremely reliable and punctual. I would love to learn more about opportunities where I can be an extension of your family and help you whenever you need someone. Thank you for considering me!
