A little bit about me

My name is Melanie and I am 23 years old. I am very passionate about nature, animals, and art. I have many years of experience working with children, from teaching swim lessons to nannying. I currently stay at home with my two children, two (almost three) and six, but am looking to get back into working full time now that the summer is coming up and they will be busy with their activities. I am an advocate for gentle parenting, so I would take a kind and gentle approach with your children to help them reach developmental milestones and grow into their personalities. Because of my experience in child care and with my own children, I have many ideas for sensory play, outdoor play, and rainy days stored in my back pocket. I also have a dog, cat, and reptiles at home so I am comfortable with any and all pets your family may have.

Adriana R. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Babysitter Available in Chicago, IL: Adriana R.

I have both paid and volunteer childcare experience working with children ranging from ages 2–5 through elementary school. In my roles as a Teacher Aide and Student Teacher, I supported teachers in creating structured, engaging, and developmentally appropriate learning environments. My responsibilities included assisting with daily routines, activities, transitions, classroom management, and lesson implementation while helping students build independence and confidence.

I also collaborated closely with teachers, staff, and families to support student success and foster positive, nurturing relationships with children. These experiences strengthened my ability to work patiently, responsibly, and effectively with children in both classroom and childcare settings.
