A little bit about me
As a responsible, creative, and enthusiastic 16-year-old with 2 years of childcare experience, I'm excited to help with your family's needs. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to teenagers, and I'm comfortable with a variety of tasks like cooking, chores, and homework assistance. I also enjoy engaging kids through activities like drawing, reading, crafting, and music. While I don't have any formal first aid certification, I'm a quick learner and would be happy to discuss my capabilities further. I'm available to provide childcare at your home and look forward to meeting your family.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Cynthia, I graduated from UIC with a bachelors in psychology and a minor in Italian studies. Three fun facts about me are I speak Italian, Spanish and English, I love music and baking most of all.
A little more about me and my work experience: I have three years of experience working with children, primarily ages 2-6. During this time, I’ve gained experience in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and have worked with children, specifically who are on the autism spectrum. But I’ve also had the pleasure to work as a nanny for a few families with children that are not on the spectrum.
I am passionate about working with children as a whole, and I always bring a positive attitude and dedication to every job I do, striving to do my best in all tasks and most of all provide some fun!
