A little bit about me

Hi there! I am a former early childhood teacher who is seeking a family with 1-2 children who need care.

I have a Master's degree in Early Childhood Education, and my undergraduate degree is in English literature. I am a great fit for a family that values reading, time spent outside, music, and embracing creativity. It is important to me that I not just be a "babysitter," but someone who can contribute to the growth and development of your child.
I am reliable, communicative, and easy-going. Looking forward to hearing from you!

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Caylie I am 20 years old, and I'm an aspiring private old school and illustrative tattoo artist! Upon moving to chicago, I will be in the process of getting all of my licenses, and will need plenty of work to pay for it! I grew up as the oldest sister of 6, and my youngest sibling is an infant. I am well-versed in caring for children ages 0-9, however, I would prefer ages 1 and up. I also grew up coaching gymnastics at my gym, to pay for my lessons. Since it paid for my lessons, I wasn't actually paid until my last year coaching. I would love to have the opportunity to help out working, loving families who may not have the opportunity to care for their children at all times.
