Hello! I am looking for some part time work, on weeknights and weekends. I began babysitting my neighbors when I was in highschool and worked with them for 8 years. I have experience changing diapers and dealing with large amounts of kids (when they would have play dates). I have experience working with developmental disabilities. I strive to keep children away from televisions and other "screen" devices. I prefer engaging kids in different activities based upon their age and skill set to help them develop and grow. I have my Master's in Social work with a certificate from the Illinois Board of Higher Education for working with Children with Mental Health Issues. I specialized in providing counseling to children and teenagers with mental health disorders ranging from ADHD to Bipolar Disorder. I am pet friendly for all animals (except tarantulas), and am willing to walk dogs as well. Please let Read more me know if you have any questions or concerns, I am happy to explain further my experiences and qualifications so that you feel entirely safe leaving your children with me.
