"To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to highly recommend Giselle as a nanny for your child care needs. She performed after-school and weekend nanny duties for my 5- and 8-year-old sons from March 2021 to January 2023. Giselle is an incredibly patient individual who takes the time to meet even the rowdiest kids' needs. She always arrived early or on time, giving me peace of mind that my boys would be safe and supervised after school. Gi's positive attitude and enthusiasm for seeing children develop their skills and curiosity was admirable and irresistible."

"Natalie is warm and caring and a natural nurturer. My almost three year old son loves “Natawee” and has obviously benefited from her attention to his early learning and development - practical skills, numbers, abcs, etc. She also has lots of energy, stamina and patience, taking on three boys under four for both indoor activities and trips to the playground or beach. She has been careful and conscientious about pandemic protocol, as well. I highly recommend her!"

"Miracle Jones was a great babysitter employer for me for my granddaughter Kaylee. She was so good to where I never wanted another babysitter but unfortunately she had to leave us because she was in the process I believe of moving back to her home town. She always made sure Kaylee was fed which was perfect for us because she loves to eat. I really loved that Miracle was never lazy with my granddaughter because usually people never want to Play or even put there full focus on Kids but I have a ADP camera and will always see them interacting. I loved that she learned what Kaylee liked to where she could buy things if her interest to bring in for her to play with or read or eat . Her smile brights the room very bubbly personality She’s young But very intelligent For her age. I can say I miss her and she’s fit for anything because she is really a miracle."

A little bit about me

Hi!

My name is Rosa. I'm 24 years old and live in Wicker Park. I'm looking for a part or full-time position. I will be attending classes in the fall. I charge between $16-20/HR unless you have a specific rate that's fine by me.

As a nanny and babysitter for about seven years, I have plenty of experience. In the past, I've taken care of newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age. The most I have experience and references would be toddlers and school-age. Some duties I had were monitoring children, helping with homework, dressing children, changing diapers, communicating with children's parents about daily activities, behaviors, and any issues, and preparing food. I have many skills like being responsible, creativity, communication, food prep, leadership, potty training, patience, and monitoring. I also have many references.

If you would like to know more about my babysitting experience, please message me.

Thanks!
