More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I just graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in Lower Elementary. I have been in and out of classrooms for the last 4 years throughout the program. I was placed in classrooms ranging from Pre-K (3/4 yr olds) through 3rd grade (9 year olds). During college I nannied 3 children (twins 10yrs old, boy 5 yrs old) for 3 years. I would plan activities, provide transportation, and provide basic care. I also helped with family needs (laundry, dogsitting, vet visits, etc.) I also worked at a home daycare for 2 years in high school caring for children aged 3months-12 years. This continued as a summer job throughout college. Aside from this work experience, I have lots of babysitting experience, and experience with children in my own family (nieces and nephews). I hope to add more to my experience as a nanny based in Chicago!!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Swimming, sports, playing outside, library, parks, etc.

My experience with special needs children...

I have taught children with both physical and learning disabilities as well as provided basic childcare to a child who required extra care due to a physical disability

Babysitter Available in Chicago, IL: Marcella T.

Hi my name is Mars and I am currently looking for a family in need of a nanny! With no professional experience to showcase, I would often volunteer after high school to watch over children from the local grade school before pick up. Additional, I have been a Court Appointed Child Supervisor for Cook County and have a large family myself; throughout my teenage years, I would babysit my cousins. Hoping to go into Children and Family Law, I would love to be a new safe space for your mini-you :)

Leilani S. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Babysitter Available in Chicago, IL: Leilani S.

I can provide a copy of my background check upon request. I'm responsible and caring with years of experience caring for children. While I haven't done formal paid babysitting, I spent most of my life caring for and watching over my little brother who is now 15 and has dealth with ADHD. I've also helped care for my partner's younger sibling such as taking him to doctor's appointments, haircuts or simply watching him while his mom was at work. My sister, although older than me, was born with a cognitive developmental delay and having a sibling of special needs has given me the experience to give a little more TLC to more complex situations. I'm trustworthy and dependable. I want to ensure I provide a patient and kind approach so that kids feel safe and supported. I'm excited to bring my nurturing energy to families on Bainbridge Island! I'm available for part time and occasional babysitting.
