Meet Claire

I have my Masters degree in Counseling Psychology: Art Therapy. I am currently Licensed as a Professional Counselor for Illinois. While in grad school (2009-2011) I babysat for two neighboring families for nearly two years. I began when the children were 5 months and 3 months old at the time. After grad school I moved to Los Angeles (2011-2013), to gain experience in my field and also babysat for two families for two years. I began babysitting a two month old for one family, and a 15-month old for the other. I babysat for these families for over two years, and had such a wonderful experience watching their children and families grow. I moved back to Chicago after obtaining work in my field. I enjoy playing a role in the growth and development of children, and am looking to explore an opportunity to help where I can! I am certified Read more in First Aid and CPR. And have been for nearly 10 years. I come from a big family, so interacting with children and caring for them is natural to me, and I truly love it!
