When I was 12 I remember babysitting for a neighbor who paid me $2.50/hr to watch 4 kids, and with this being my first "job," I was thrilled! I continued babysitting/nannying for many years, all the way through grad school. I have experience watching infants to 13 year-olds, and feel extremely competent as a childcare provider. I currently am a school social worker in Chicago Public Schools, and since my summer gig from the past 6 years isn't happening due to Covid, I thought I'd get back to my roots! ;) I'm interested in a summer babysitting or nannying job - I'm very flexible with my role depending on your family's need, so please reach out if my experience and personality sounds like a good fit!
