A little bit about me
Hi there! I am currently a student attending Purdue University online while also working full time. I just recently moved to the East Lakeview/Lincoln Park area so I am looking to make a little extra money in order to pay for my rent and other things needed as I finish getting settled relocating. Growing up in a huge family, I am used to taking care of kids on a regular basis. I also used to teach in the children's ministry at my church, so I am familiar with planning activities that are educational as well as fun for the kids. I also used to work at a residential facility for at-risk youth so I have worked with all types of kids. My goal is to make sure kids are learning about the world around them in a safe and secure environment, as well as bringing endless smiles to their face as well.

A little bit about me
I have been working with children for 9 years now! I have babysat and nannied for kids of all ages. I worked as a birthday party coach and dance teacher for three years so I would consider myself really creative in making sure the kids are having fun but being safe. I also coached boys soccer for ages 6 and 7 so whether the kid is a boy or girl I have ample experience in making sure the kiddos are having equal fun. I try and keep the children active and away from electronics as much as possible so that they can stay stimulated in more of a creative way.
