A little bit about me

I bring over two decades of experience working with young children from toddlers to early elementary and I genuinely love this stage of life. I’m the kind of caregiver who gets down on the floor to build, create, and explore, while also holding a calm, steady presence that helps children feel safe and understood.
My background is in Montessori education, where I’ve worked as a classroom guide, school leader, and teacher trainer. That means I’m skilled at supporting independence, guiding behavior with respect, and creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities (think art projects, practical life skills, storytelling, and outdoor exploration).
I’m attentive, communicative, and deeply tuned in to children’s needs, whether that’s helping a toddler navigate big feelings or supporting a child’s growing curiosity about the world. Families often describe me as warm, reliable, and thoughtful, with a natural ability to connect.

Abbeli W. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Babysitter Available in Chicago, IL: Abbeli W.

Hi! My name is Abbeli, and I’m currently a sophomore at DePaul University studying Economics. I’m a responsible, caring, and patient person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children.

I have experience caring for my younger brother throughout middle school, as well as babysitting my cousins. I’ve also helped tutor them, taught them how to write, and spent time playing games and coming up with fun activities. I love creating a fun, comfortable environment where kids feel happy and cared for.

I’ve always gotten along well with children, and babies especially seem to love me! They often end up falling asleep on my lap, which I think is the sweetest thing. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy building connections with the children I care for.

I’m currently looking for babysitting opportunities and would love to connect with families who need an extra helping hand. Feel free to message me with any questions!
