A little bit about me

Hi I’m Marcos, I’m from Argentina and I’m 26 years old. I live in Chicago downtown
A little bit for me: I’m Spanish speaker but I speak a little bit of English and I am improving it every day (I can understand everything). I’m graduated in Nursing in Argentina and I’m CPR & first Aid certified and I have acquired greater competent and relevant knowledge for the care of children. I am able to help children complete their school homework with the aim of reinforcing their performance and accompanying them in their daily activities. My most important skills include effective communication, empathy, charisma and proactivity.
My schedule is flexible, especially in the mornings and on weekends all day, so perfect for an occasional sitter/date nights too.
I have previous experience with children ages 1 month to 14 yo.
My vocation for child care and education, along with my personal skills will make your children safe under my supervision

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Josephine, I’ve been a nanny for the family I have for 15 years but sad to say, I think it’s time to go. The children can manage by themselves now, the youngest is 12. I’ve been with other families before them. I love what I do and kids love me too. I am looking for another family that needs help with their children and I do hope that you will be able to help me find that family. Thank you and hope to hear from you. ~ Josephine
