A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Margaret and I am moving to Chicago in July! I will be attending Roosevelt University pursuing a master’s degree in clinical and counseling psychology. I have over five years of childcare experience as a nanny and babysitter, and I a year of experience working at a children’s museum. I am getting my CPR/AED/FA certification renewed shortly. I will be located in the West Loop area, and I am comfortable making a commute as long as I can use public transit to get there! I will be in class on Mondays from 2:30 to 8:00 PM and Tuesdays from 6:00 to 8:00 PM, otherwise I am free. I am very positive and love to have fun, but I intend on keeping a regular schedule and an organized environment for the kids. I am an experienced tutor, so I will be ready to help with homework, and I have experience in house work, cooking, and pet care, all of which I would be happy to take on. Please send me a message if you think I would be a good fit for your family!
