I currently work as a full-time nanny to a 2yo boy, and am hoping to find a family for semi-regular weeknight or weekend babysitting. I love working with children; their inquisitive attitudes and loads of energy make them a joy to be around, and I love the opportunity to help them grow into incredible people. I am responsible and dependable, but also fun and energetic. I'm great at finding free, fun activities all around the city for all kinds of learning adventures, and keeping a good routine in place at home. I’m 24 years old and originally from southwestern Michigan, but have lived in Chicago for 6 years now. I completed a Bachelor of Arts degree at Loyola University Chicago and have up-to-date CPR and First Aid certifications. I have been working as a full-time nanny since September 2014 and am looking forward to many more years ahead of working Read more with children. I also have years of experience regularly babysitting children from newborns to young teens. With me, your children will have fun playing and learning rather than just sitting in front of a television set. I have some background in cooking professionally as well- it will be my pleasure to help plan well-rounded, delicious and nutritious meals for your children and accommodate any dietary needs they may have. I can also help prepare meals for the whole family to bring even greater ease to your life and more time together with your children after a long workday. My hobbies include cooking, spending time with my husband & dogs (a pug, Rufus, and a golden doodle, Stella), making art, and renovating my home/DIY projects.
