A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Daisy, I am from Oconomowoc, Wisconsin and I’m out here in Chicago for school! Growing up I would always watch my younger siblings, and my first official job was at a indoor playground called, “The Children’s Play Gallery.” During that time I worked with kids of all ages and planned fun and engaging birthday parties. I started babysitting children in my neighbor around the age of 14, and have been doing that on the side ever since. I love working with children, and recently worked as a nanny during the summer as well for two very lovely boys. I am also well versed with taking care of children of all ages. :)

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Lux! I’m currently a sophomore at DePaul majoring in education. I’ve babysat since I was 16 and I love it! Over the last few years, I've worked primarily with toddlers and kids who ranged from 6 months to eleven years, but I love kids of all ages. If it's nice out, I like to take the kids outside, but if not, arts and crafts, reading, drawing, watching movies, and using our imaginations are also fun!

I am available most weeknights/after school, after 5 on Monday/Wednesday and after 2 pm Tuesday/Thursday. I am also available all day Friday, Saturday until three, and anytime Sunday.
