"Sugar, spice and everything nice." These are the ingredients super nannies are made of. Hi, I'm Linda, and I have had the pleasure of working as a childcare professional for over 16 years now. I have served in many childcare positions from nanny, to babysitter, to daycare teacher, to recess coach, and even lice technician. I am an expert at creating lesson plans, working on developmental ways to improve a child's learning, and of course providing fun. I have been a sitter for a company named K. Grace Childcare, since June 2012, and have served a multitude of Chicago and Suburban families. In addition to that, I also worked for a sitter/nanny company by the name of College Nannies and Tutors, and I have always provided freelance babysitting. I am currently in school pursuing a Bachelor's in Child Psychology, because I am absolutely curios about a child's train of thought Read more and mental/emotional development . I am first aid/cpr/aed certified, and I am well trained with taking care of newborns, toddlers and school age children as well as large groups of kids. In addition to those things, I am capable of making vegetarian meals, performing light home duties, and I have my own vehicle to escort children on outings when necessary. If you need any additional information, please feel free to inquire.
