A little bit about me

Hello! I am a recent graduate of Grinnell College where I earned an honor's degree in psychology and education studies. I moved to Chicago (Hyde Park) to begin graduate studies at Loyola University where I am pursuing a master's degree in education and an education specialist degree in school psychology. I've been caring for children for 10+ years in private homes as well as public academic and clinical settings. I've also cared for children with disabilities as a behavioral technician at an intensive ABA clinic and, most recently, a caregiver for a child with physical and cognitive impairment resulting from a brain tumor. I love to be active and help children have fun outdoors. I also enjoy arts and imaginative play– I'm not afraid to be goofy! I'm a great cook and I value a clean, organized space so I would be happy to help with additional housekeeping tasks as well. Please reach out if you think I might be a good fit for your family's needs!

Ammu S. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Chicago, IL: Ammu S.

I am a caring, responsible, parent raising a 5 year old. I love reading, arts, crafts, puzzles, outdoor play and age appropriate activities with kids. Raising my own kid has given me practical experience with daily routines, school prep, meals, playtime and encouraging independence.I especially enjoy supporting early learning like phonics,spelling, basic math, vocabulary and homework-making it fun and enjoyable. Before childcare, I spent 10 years in banking, which sharpened my communication, organization, time-management, and problem-solving skills — qualities I bring to every day with a child. I'm looking for a family where I can provide reliable, attentive care and become a trusted part of my child's routine — supporting schoolwork while making time for play, creativity, and fun.
