Hi! My name is Lena, and I’m a 19-year-old college student at UIC majoring in Kinesiology. I’m looking for part-time babysitting or nannying opportunities that fit around my school schedule. I’ve been caring for children practically my whole life. I have five nieces and nephews, along with many younger cousins, and because I’m the youngest in my family, I grew up helping care for my nieces and nephews as my siblings started their own families. My family has always trusted me to babysit, and I’ve gained a lot of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages. I’m patient, responsible, caring, and love keeping kids engaged. I enjoy activities like arts and crafts, playing outside, reading, helping with homework, and finding fun ways to keep kids active. As a Kinesiology major who plans to pursue Occupational Therapy, I’m also very interested in child development and creating a safe and positive Read more environment for children. I’m CPR and AED certified, including infant CPR/AED, and I have 4 years of driving experience with my own reliable car. I’m comfortable helping with meals, homework, playtime, bedtime routines, and other child-related tasks.
