I am currently a full-time nanny to a 13 month old infant in Lakeview. I am looking for weekend babysitting to help supplement our income while my husband is in graduate school at IIT. Ideally I would love a family who would use me on a somewhat consistent basis and I think it's important for my bonding with the child(ren). I have worked with children for over 15 years as a babysitter, nanny, swim coach, mentor, after school program coordinator at a youth non-profit, and foster care intern. I have worked with all ages and up to six children at once. I have my Bachelors and Masters degrees in Social Work with a concentration in children, youth, and families. I am also CPR certified (infant and child).
