Hello! I'm a graduate student going for my second (and third) degrees at Loyola University Chicago. With a passion for child and youth development, I have nearly a decade of experience as a caregiver for children from birth to 15 years of age in not only home settings, but within large and small childcare centers as well. Before joining my dual master's of Social Work & Jurisprudence program, I spent time in the field of non-profit early childhood education advocacy and had the pleasure of being able to plan and implement age appropriate activities for children/teens within a wide range of developmental stages. As the school-year starts up again, I would love to work with a nice family who needs help caring for their children. I'm also looking few families as a relief and/or date-night sitter, because everyone needs a night out. My profile is updated with my general availability Read more but I'm quite flexible. I am very creative, loving, and will provide the level of childcare and child development skills any family can rely on. I'm certified I'm mental health first aid, and am more than willing to renew my CPR/First-aid training as well. Thanks in advance for your consideration! I'm looking forward to meeting your family soon!

Candyss is wonderful. Our 5-month old is so comfortable with her and we have no concerns at all leaving him with her. I only wish we lived here and could use Candyss all the time!

Candyss was such a great Babysitter, my son said she was the best babysitter he had ever had. She chatted and engaged with the kids and sent us updates as to how it was going. I will definitely be booking her again!

Candyss was amazing! She arrived right on time and bonded with my kids immediately. She sent us a couple of updates during the evening, including some pictures the kids asked her to take. They've already asked if she can come back again soon!
