A little bit about me

Hello, My name is Julia Wilson. I am a 20 years old college student. For the last 2 years, I have babysat kids from 4-12 years old when I was in my hometown before I left for college. I love playing and having a good time with the kids, being a nanny is something I absolutely love doing! Due to college, I can only do part-time positions. I'm studying communication and media at a private college in downtown Chicago. I would love to work with kids again during this time. I also would love to be a housekeeper, doing anything around the house as needed. If would like to know more and get to know me more please reach out to me!
Thank you!

A little bit about me

Hi there! I am 20 years old and have loved working with children since I was 14 years old. My family is full of nannies, my mother has been a nanny for over 30 years and has instilled everything she knows in my siblings and I. I am looking for something long term- part time or fulltime since I am currently in school, flexibility with hours. Schedule will be finalized in July. I am a student at UIC and currently majoring in psychology. I hope to become a children’s defense attorney or a children’s therapist. I was born and raised in the southeast side of Chicago, but I am very familiar with the Hyde park area. I attended elementary school there and most of my previous nannying positions have been in that area. I have my driver’s permit and am currently in the process of getting my license, and I have a car so transportation won’t be an issue. I speak English and Spanish, and I love walks outside, going to the park, museums, and anything art related! I can provide references if needed.
