A little bit about me
I am a fifth grade teacher in the north shore suburbs looking for a part time job this summer (and summers to follow if needed!). This is my third year as a fifth grade teacher, and I have taught kindergarten and first grade. Currently, in fifth grade I teach a co-taught class that is both general education and special education. I was an age level director for 10-12 year olds at Banner Day Camp, and before that a camp counselor for many years. Prior to that I was a nanny for two different families. At age 15 I was in charge of three preschool day camp classes that went on all summer. I am the oldest of six children, so I have been working with children my whole life! I have been babysitting since I was 12. I am easy going, a. fast learner, active, social, organized, and most importantly love to work with children! I can bring my talents as a teacher to this summer :)

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I am currently located in the Ukrainian Village, but willing to travel outside. I have a car and car seat if needed! Looking forward to hearing from you!

A little bit about me
In 2016, I moved to Charleston, SC from Grand Haven Michigan to attend the College of Charleston. However, I will be moving to Chicago in May or June.
My mother has always been a full-time nanny while I was growing up and I have loved helping her along the way! I enjoy staying active, reading, doing crafts, and traveling! Some duties I have held while nannying include picking up from school/bringing to activities such as swim/dance/soccer etc, helping with homework, helping with night time duties, cooking, and cleaning! I have also done night babysitting while parents are away on vacation.
