A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Susanna Lim and I am 23 years old. I have always adored kids and have been babysitting since I was 13 and nannying since I was 15. I haven’t been able to be a nanny since 2016 because college and academics started to take over my life! I now have a 9-5 job, and am looking for some more part-time work in something that I enjoy doing. I am friendly, punctual, patient, and kindhearted. :)

A little bit about me

I live in Lakeview East and I am currently looking a new family to help part-time with childcare, short-term. I am available every week day and weekends. I also speak French and can provide tutoring help.
I have about 5 years of experience formally caring for children ranging from 0-12 years old. I grew up in a large household with a huge extended family so there were always babies around me. The family that I worked for last year is moving to the sub-burbs, but the commute is too far for me to keep working for them. I am a little heart broken because I watched the kids grow so much and the family was amazing. I am looking for a family with whom to build a similar relationship.

 I am happy to provide references as needed and have included my urbansitter profile for additional feedback from parents I have worked with!
