Asia M. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Live-In Part-Time Nanny Available in Chicago, IL: Asia M.

I have a 7 year old son and I want to help other people! I love being silly in an educational way and I like to let my son know everything can be educational! I also love when children ask questions so I can explain it to them, but sometimes I shut it down because they don’t need to know the answer at that time! I also like to cook, bake and depending on the child’s age I let them help if they want. No worries they won’t touch the stove!
Gracie C. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Part-Time Nanny Available in Chicago, IL: Gracie C.

Hi my name is Gracie! I am 19 years old and I am currently out for the summer for school and I just finished up my first year of college!
I don’t have much experience in paid babysitting, but growing up around kids my whole life has taught me to take care of kids ages from 0-9 years. For the past 3 summers i’ve been a Recreational Leader at Armour Square Park, and that allows me to work with kids from ages 4-10. I personally love kids myself, walks are fun, car rides are fun, I love being inside and outside (depending on the weather ofc). I am the oldest sibling of 3 so I personally believe I have a lot of experience and responsibilities.
