A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Savannah Fields, I'm 18 years old and am currently a student at DePaul University studying political science. I have two younger siblings who are 9 and 5 that I've taken care of very heavily the last couple of years. Before I took care of them, I did a baby sitting class in which I became cpr/first aid certified (currently expired but I'm more than willing to renew before I start working!!). During covid, I also took care of them both full time (and was paid) so I'm experienced in meal prep, stimulating playtime, and I'm a great teacher when it comes to homeschooling/homework. Before this, I was babysitting them fairly often from ages 6 months until present day, oldest beinf 9 years old. My paid jobs included lots of customer service work (which you'll see in my resume) and internships. This would be my first time taking care of other peoples kids to this extent but I'm a quick learner, flexible, super open minded, handle stress well, and I'm a hard worker!

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Lisette, I'm 23 years old and I was born in Colombia, I've been in the United States for 2 years in which I've been able to work with amazing families like nanny and babysitter and they can give you references of my work! Here I've worked with children since I was 3 months of age to 6 years. I graduated as a psychologist in my country, I did my professional practice in a school with children from the ages of 7 to 16; In Colombia I was also a babysitter and the most important thing is that I was very present in the care of my nephews since my sisters had to work so I took care of them since they were 3 months old; I am a very loving, patient, creative and energetic person! 😁
