Hi! My name is Leti, I am 33 yrs old, and have been providing childcare for the past 15+ years. I am a native Chicagoan currently seeking opportunities to babysit in my free time (evenings & weekends). I am well-versed in traveling around the city and exploring all that it has to offer! I come from a large family with two sets of multiples (I'm a triplet)! And I've always enjoyed spending time with children of all ages (from infant to elementary-aged). I've worked as a babysitter/nanny, helped with light housekeeping/cleaning, and as a tutor for K-2 graders. I also have experience caring for multiple children (up to 5). I highly value communication and enjoy building long-term relationships with the families I work with. I look forward to meeting you and your family soon!

Hello! I live in Chicago and have a full-time job during the week as a Delivery Consultant for a software company. I don't have any children of my own, but love being around children of all ages watching them react to new things and explore the world. I consider myself to be optimistic, friendly, energetic, creative, and firm when necessary. Outside of my full time job, I avoid screen time as much as possible. I much prefer to be out doing new things - love the arts, baking/cooking, and being active. I babysat regularly in high school and college - ages from infant to elementary. While in high school I volunteered at a local fitness center in the day care center, caring for children as their parents used the gym. I participated in Big Brothers/Big Sisters in college and enjoyed mentoring children in underserved communities. I have three young nieces and a nephew that live out of state. I don't get to see them as often as I would like, so I cherish my time with them and enjoy spoiling them as much as I can! I am generally available after 5pm on weekday evenings and anytime on weekends. I have a car and live in the South Loop neighborhood.

I am an arts-embracing, music & dance-loving, playful, creative, compassionate, & intuitive childcare worker. I am patient, nurturing, gentle, & firm. I have over 15 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens, as a nanny, dance instructor, summer camp program coordinator, after-school youth worker/Lead, & youth mentor. My last child-care job was homeschooling a small pod of preschoolers mid-pandemic using Maria Montessori curriculum. I am attentive, I focus on getting to know children & meeting them where their particular needs & interests are. I like to be really present & engage on their level. I do well with giving structure & routine to the day with enough wiggle room for creativity & flow. I like to spend lots of time outside when the weather permits it & I make pretty good forts. I am currently working at a restaurant & looking to pick up a part-time child-care job. I am vaccinated & boosted, & still choosing to wear a mask in most public spaces. Looking forward to hearing from you! :)
