A little bit about me
Hello! I would love to get to know and cater to the unique needs of your home and loved ones! I have babysat for friends and family since I was 14. My first long term paid gig was for a toddler. I worked in the nursery of my church throughout highschool and taught kids swimming lessons as a lifeguard as well. From [phone number hidden] I worked full time as a special education teaching Assistant in a public elementary school in Saint Paul, MN. I have extensive experience with kids with autism or other developmental delays as well as twins! I have always loved making up games and getting to know and caring for little ones. Currently, and for almost a year now, I am working at a preschool/daycare with ages 3 months to 4 years depending on the day and am really loving the younger ones. I am in Old Town, Chicago and have a car if you are further away! Although my experience is very limited with older kids (9yrs+) I would love to get a chance to know yours!
