A little bit about me

I have over 10 years of babysitting experience with kids of various ages, 3 years specifically with infants, and 7 year experience working with kids with disabilities in all age group . I’m a current college student taking online classes DePaul and also CPR & First Aid certified . I will strictly enforce the rules that you set for your children, but I am still kind, gentle, and do not raise my voice. I incorporate crafts into daily activities and make sure the kids get plenty of outdoor play. I also have math and reading workbooks that your children can use to support their basic skills and stay ahead in school. If needed, I can prepare light meals and snacks and perform basic housekeeping during naps and bedtime.I am happy to schedule a time to meet with you and your family to demonstrate that I am a good fit. Please contact me by phone when you are ready for a meeting. I have plenty of reference and a background check ready upon request. Thank you for reviewing my application. I look forward to learning more about your little ones. ( [phone number hidden])
