I have worked in childcare for 4 years now. I currently have my CDA in preschool. I currently teach ages 4-5 and help get them ready for kindergarten. I absolutely love working with kids. I don’t just look at it as “babysitting” because I really enjoy teaching children new things like how to write their name, their abcs, numbers, shapes, colors, and even their phone number and addresses. I LOVE doing arts and crafts with children as well. I am also CPR/First Aid certified and have my food handlers. I have many DCFS trainings, as well as my mandated reporter certificate. I am also a Licensed Foster Parent. I have a 7 year old son, who I am in the process of getting legal guardianship of. I’m available Monday-Friday 8:00am-2:30pm. And can be available after 3:30pm during the week after I get my son off the bus. And then available Read more anytime on the weekends. Will also be available anytime during summer when school is out. I can provide references if needed. I am willing to care for children in their home or even in my home, whichever you prefer.
