Art teacher looking for a part-time nanny position for the summer! I typically teach summer camp but our camp got cancelled this year.

In addition to working as an arts teacher, I work as a special education teacher for young adults and I’m in the process of going back to school to get my certification.

A little bit about me

Hello! I am a 21-year-old business student (online), living on the North Side of Chicago. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old and I’ve been doing it ever since, but ever since I moved to the city it has been a bit harder to reach more clientele! I have also been an elementary daycare counselor for 2 1/2 years in Nashville, Tennessee. With the years of experience in babysitting that I have, I also have experience in other aspects that I can offer: Tutoring in all subjects, housecleaning, personal assistant/errands, and pet care. I consider myself to be a dependable, hardworking, personable, detail-oriented person, and humorous person. I promise that choosing me to help your family out with your children and other requests is the right choice!
