I'm a fun, caring babysitter who loves to work with children of all ages. I'm very professional, reliable, and flexible. I typically work full-time in the city (non-babysitting) but am taking a bit of a sabbatical so I have a lot of flexibility currently. I would love to meet your family to become a "date night" or weekend sitter. I'm comfortable with all ages, with pets, with cleaning up whenever possible and preparing food. For background, I started babysitting alone for neighbor children in 3rd grade and continued through college. I have experience with newborns, twins, and children with a variety of needs (bipolar, Down’s syndrome, ADHD, and anxiety). I have babysat for a few families in Chicago but all have moved to the suburbs or further away. I was a lifeguard and swim instructor who was fully certified by the Red Cross for CPR and First Aid for the Read more professional rescuers. I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs and rarely drink (even socially). I’m mature and put the children before my phone or other device.
