A little bit about me

{LOCATED IN LOGAN SQUARE}
My name is Sierra. I just graduated with a BFA in Acting from The Theatre School at DePaul University. Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky.

I have been using Urbansitter to connect with families for almost three years and decided to venture out to Nannylane! I have been caring for children for as long as I remember! I have taken care of newborn babies and as old as middle schoolers. At times, I would take them to the park or bring some games for them to play. I’m very receptive to whatever requests the parents/guardians have for their child!! I love being creative about ways to support your household and your children! I’m here to help.

Some fun facts about me!
I’m classically trained in the violin (9 years), I play the bass and guitar, I have a cat named Beatrice and I love cooking! I’m skilled at oil pastels and acrylic. I also love music and finding new ways to introduce it to children.

Looking forward to hearing from you and your needs!

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Isabelle! I'm an art student based in Chicago. I began babysitting from a young age and have worked with children education since. My most recent childcare adjacent job aside from overnight babysitting was as a swim coach for an age range of 4 months to 12 years old. I'm studying animation to go into children's TV and better the content being shown toward children. Education, reading, and art are all very important to me and I incorporate these values when I spend time and create activities for the children!
