A little bit about me

Hello families! My name is Isabel Ovsak! I'm going into my senior year of high school! I would love to help out, whether it’s the occasional date night or full time summer position! I’m first aid and CPR certified, and have been baby sitting for 4 years! I have experience with children from infants and toddlers to elementary and middle school ages. I am very active and love playing sports, going on walks, hiking, and exploring new areas. I have my license and a reliable car so I’m able to drive children to and from extra curricular activities! A little bit about me is that I am originally from Eagle River Wisconsin, and moved to Elgin Illinois about 5 years ago. I go to Harvest Christian Academy, and I have a younger brother in fourth grade! I love animals and have two dogs and some chickens! I do competitive figure skating as-well as teach kids ages 2-13 how to ice skate! I love spending time helping kids learn and grow! I would love to help your family! Let me know if I can help out!
