Hello, I’ve been babysitting children between the ages 2-13 for 5 years. I am currently an occasional babysitter for three families. I work at an afterschool program at an elementary school where I help with homework and overall just have fun with the children. Working at the after school program taught me how to handle lots of children at one time and patience. I have been a combat medic in the Army National Guard for three years and I’m a certified EMT. I’ve always loved children, working with them has taught me that they aren’t just tiny adults but they’re unique and I’m fully aware of that distinction. Being a biology major at DePaul University, I have always been interested in the medical field. It wasn’t until I worked at a summer camp for special needs children that I decided that I wanted to do medical research on those children, to improve their quality of life. I haven’t narrowed down my specific focus but all I know is that I want to help children.

My child care experience expands across all age groups including special needs. I find such joy in being a positive mentor in a child’s life. I love to have fun! I enjoy puzzles, board games, crafts and music. I also love to take walks! It's important to keep kid active! I currently work at Hoboken Catholic Academy as an aide, substitute and stem teacher. Working with kids ages 3-13. I also have over 15 years working with children , as I started working at a nursery at 17 years old. I also have my associates degree in education and am planning to continue school. Being a mom myself (7&16) , i also have the personal experience and know the importance of child safety , and happiness. I am bilingual as I speak both fluent English and Spanish. Would love to teach your little one some Spanish if wanted! I was sitting for a family but they moved away and I have been looking for a new place that I can help keep bellies full and laughter roaring while learning along the way!

Hi, I'm Seun! Fair warning — if you hire me, there's a good chance your kitchen may become a culinary lab. We once recreated edible dirt using crushed Oreos and gummy worms, and it was a hit. I've been working with children since high school and have loved every moment of it. I believe kids see the world with a curiosity and wonder that is truly special, and I feel privileged to play a role in their growth into their own autonomous selves. This work has taught me the rewards of being present, the value of play, and the power of creativity — lessons I carry with me every day. I believe the best moments with children happen when you lean into their interest, and I've built my entire approach around that idea. I've been working with children since high school — starting with families of teachers and growing through word-of-mouth ever since. I'm experienced with toddlers through preteens, comfortable with multiples, and tend to build long-term relationships with the families I work with. Day-to-day I can help with morning and nighttime routines, meal prep, homework, driving to activities, and keeping kids engaged with screen-free games, outdoor play, and playdates. I'm currently in medical school on a scholar's Year for research, which means I bring a clinical understanding of child safety, health, and development to every family I work with — and I have genuine flexibility in my schedule for the foreseeable year. I also volunteer as a tutor supporting students from elementary school through the college application process. I'm available to start immediately and would love to meet your family. Feel free to reach out!
