A little bit about me
Hi my name is Jake and I am college student at LSU in Baton Rouge! I have lived in Chicago for 19 years running, went to school here in the city, and am very familiar with the area. I love to play sports and spend time outside, but I am also a sucker for a good book. I am studying mechanical engineering in college, and would like to work in the field of sustainable energy later in life. I have worked in a preschool before, where I was in charge of quite a few younger children, watching them, playing with them etc. I really enjoyed my time at Chalkboard while I was there, and would love to do it again. I went to high school at Saint Ignatius College Prep, and grade school I attended Alexander Graham Bell School.

A little bit about me
I’m a positive and patient older sister who has experience with autistic children. For several years, I have helped raise my autistic sister and since then I have realized that I want to work with children with special needs for the rest of my life! I have plenty other experience with infants and preschoolers. I have taken child development in high school and other childcare classes. I’m starting college in the fall; therefore, I’m seeking a full time job as a nanny, so that I can save up and pursue my passion. I love kids and I love cleaning! I can’t stand a dirty house. I also love art and crafts, all genres of music, and delicious food.
