A little bit about me
I've been working with children since I was 14, teaching at western dupage special recreation association with differently abled kids. I've taught swim since then from ages infant to adult. Beyond that I worked as a chicago public school teacher for two years, then as a private art instructor/therapist/nanny from 2015 to now. The kids are grown up from that family enough to not need me around all the time but happy to give their mother as a reference. I play saxophone, piano and was a graduate/masters at the school of the art institute of chicago with a bfa in fine arts/art ed and a masters in art therapy.

My name is Mary Cleary! During the school year, I am a music teacher in Rogers Park, Chicago! I teach children 5 years old to 14 years old. I am usually in the classroom with 30 kids at a time so I'm no stranger to managing multiple kids at once! I can't wait to get a chance to talk to, and hopefully support, families in the Chicago area.

Hi!
My name is Rosa. I'm 24 years old and live in Wicker Park. I'm looking for a part or full-time position. I will be attending classes in the fall. I charge between $16-20/HR unless you have a specific rate that's fine by me.
As a nanny and babysitter for about seven years, I have plenty of experience. In the past, I've taken care of newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age. The most I have experience and references would be toddlers and school-age. Some duties I had were monitoring children, helping with homework, dressing children, changing diapers, communicating with children's parents about daily activities, behaviors, and any issues, and preparing food. I have many skills like being responsible, creativity, communication, food prep, leadership, potty training, patience, and monitoring. I also have many references.
If you would like to know more about my babysitting experience, please message me.
Thanks!

"Natalie is warm and caring and a natural nurturer. My almost three year old son loves “Natawee” and has obviously benefited from her attention to his early learning and development - practical skills, numbers, abcs, etc. She also has lots of energy, stamina and patience, taking on three boys under four for both indoor activities and trips to the playground or beach. She has been careful and conscientious about pandemic protocol, as well. I highly recommend her!"
