More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I worked at DC Peers, with students in middle and high school. In the past, I tutored kids in that same age range.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I like to encourage exploratory, intentional play, especially in younger children. With older children, I find boardgames and table top ways to be a great way to do this.
I practice walking meditation, which is a great way to be grounded in nature (really just a mindful game of ispy).
I love to bake and do crafts, so I find those are most enjoyable to do with kids, especially when they are enthusiastic and get to learn new skills!

The most important part about being a nanny...
being part of how a child grows into a fantastic person! I see nannying as a relationship between the nanny and the family--everyone's involved, and puts work into the relationship (don't worry, I'll still be doing the childcare work!) so that we all come out the other side better than we were before.
My experience with special needs children...
I worked at a local organization that fostered peer mentoring for neurodivergent kids. I've tutored children on the spectrum, with ADHD, and with behavioral health problems in the past.

Babysitter Available in Chicago, IL: Caroline K.
Hi! I’m a nursing student who has always loved working with kids. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 and have experience caring for children of all ages. I’m CPR certified, dependable, and happy to provide references from families I’ve babysat for in the past.
I would describe myself as kind, compassionate, patient, and responsible. My background in nursing has made me especially comfortable staying calm, attentive, and safety-conscious, while still making sure kids are having fun and feel comfortable with me. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and getting to know their individual personalities, whether that means playing games, helping with homework, doing crafts, or just being a caring and reliable presence.
