Looking for work as a babysitter or nanny

  • 10 years paid experience
  • Nanny in Chicago, IL 60631

Meet Amelia

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I have always loved working with children, even though I currently work with teenagers. I have been requested as a babysitter, by both children and parents, since I was eleven, as I am energetic, creative, hardworking and never off my feet. I have been babysitting for many families for the past five years, but exclusive for several families on weekends and weeknights. I like getting kids off the couch and on their feet, playing games, coloring or reading and acting out stories. I am not a TV person, so you will not find your children or myself lazing front of the screen in your home. I bring a nanny-bag that has tons of great crafts to keep children busy.

Amelia is amazing! Her first time to take care of my two boys, she came with a bag of activities and won their hearts in a matter of seconds! She is on time, pays attention to the list of directions and is fantastic!
