A little bit about me

Hi I'm Jazlyn, I'm currently a college student at DePaul University. I'm majoring in marketing but love working with children and have experience from working at a child care center for the past two years. At my previous job I worked with multiple kids of various ages at a time while maintaining the centers cleanliness. I'm reliable, punctual, and attentive to each child's unique needs and routines. I have references from managers at my previous job. I’m active so I love to have fun outdoors or even incorporate little crafts and baking. I have CPR certification training lined up once I find a permanent position. I am an animal lover aswell so your furballs can also get the pet care needed. I have my own car with a clean driving record. I also am able to perform light housekeeping and cooking tasks. I am currently open to full-time positions Monday through Friday, and casual babysitting until I find a family!
