A little bit about me

I’m an upcoming sophomore at Xavier University of Louisiana with several years of experience caring for children through babysitting for family and family friends, working at Sky Zone, and serving as a teacher assistant. Many people have told me I’m great with kids, which encouraged me to begin looking for babysitting opportunities professionally.

As the oldest of 12 siblings, I’ve gained a lot of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages. I’m comfortable with everything from changing diapers and preparing meals to helping with homework, assisting with learning activities, playing games, and keeping kids entertained in a safe and positive environment. My experience as a teacher assistant also helped me develop patience, communication skills, and the ability to work well with children in both fun and structured settings. I’m dependable, energetic, nurturing, and truly enjoy supporting children and helping families however I can.

Asia M. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Live-In Part-Time Nanny Available in Chicago, IL: Asia M.

I have a 7 year old son and I want to help other people! I love being silly in an educational way and I like to let my son know everything can be educational! I also love when children ask questions so I can explain it to them, but sometimes I shut it down because they don’t need to know the answer at that time! I also like to cook, bake and depending on the child’s age I let them help if they want. No worries they won’t touch the stove!
Gracie C. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Part-Time Nanny Available in Chicago, IL: Gracie C.

Hi my name is Gracie! I am 19 years old and I am currently out for the summer for school and I just finished up my first year of college!
I don’t have much experience in paid babysitting, but growing up around kids my whole life has taught me to take care of kids ages from 0-9 years. For the past 3 summers i’ve been a Recreational Leader at Armour Square Park, and that allows me to work with kids from ages 4-10. I personally love kids myself, walks are fun, car rides are fun, I love being inside and outside (depending on the weather ofc). I am the oldest sibling of 3 so I personally believe I have a lot of experience and responsibilities.
