Hi! My name is Sara, and I’m a sophomore at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, majoring in Interdisciplinary Health Sciences. I’m offering childcare and can also help with light household tasks.
I have experience caring for children of different ages, from pre-K to middle school. I’ve worked in settings where I supervised kids, led activities, and helped create a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I’m patient, dependable, and always try to make sure kids feel comfortable and engaged.

I’m fluent in English and Farsi, speak some Spanish, and enjoy building positive, trusting relationships with both kids and families.

A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Christine. I have been working as a nanny for about 3 years and have been babysitting/working with children since I was 13 years old.
I have experience in all age groups under 15 years old. I am a firm believer in the importance of incorporating learning into play time through games and crafts. Depending on the child's age I do try to come prepared with engaging and fun activities!
I have just recently relocated to the Lincoln Park/Wrigleyville area and am excited to create new networks around the Chicago area!
