Hi! My name is Meredith, and I'm finishing my third year as a special education teacher in Evanston. I have a Bachelor of Science in Speech and Hearing Sciences from the University of Illinois and a Master of Arts in Teaching Elementary Education with a special education certification. I began babysitting at 10 and have always loved working with children. I have babysat for many families over the past 17 years but have three families with whom I've been sitting for over 5 years and whose children I consider my own. I've both traveled with these families and spent long weekends at home with the kids while mom and dad went away. I love to do things with the kids- go to the park, bike rides, sidewalk chalk, the pool, whatever is available! I have babysat for up to 5 kids (who happened to all be under the age of Read more 7) and have babysat for infants as young as three months. Overall, I love working with kids! I spend my days learning, growing, and exploring with 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, and would love to get to know your family and spend the summer taking trips to the zoo, going on bike rides, and running around at the park with your kiddos! I live in the Wicker Park area and would love to meet you and your family if you think I might be a good fit! All the best! Meredith
