Looking for work as a babysitter or nanny

  • 10 years paid experience
  • Nanny in Chicago, IL 60612

Meet Melissa

  • Speaks English
  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I have over 10 years experience caring for children ages newborn- 16 years. I am comfortable watching multiple children at once and I believe in an enriching and supportive environment. I specialize in troubled teens and have wonderful success with children struggling with school- both academically and socially. I like to offer a positive, relatable role model to kids who otherwise may not feel like they have someone on their team. I am young and active, and believe in healthy, yummy eating. I love to cook, and pride myself on my recipes containing hidden nutrients that kids gobble right up. :)
