A little bit about me

I grew up in a large family with many siblings, so caring for children has always been a part of my life. I started babysitting in junior high and quickly discovered how much I enjoy working with kids. Now that my own son is off to college, I have more time and would love to spend it helping take care of children again. I have a nurturing personality and connect easily with kids by being patient, supportive, and encouraging. I believe in the importance of creativity and movement in a child’s development, and I enjoy planning activities that keep children engaged—whether it’s through hands-on art projects, imaginative play, or active games that help them grow and explore. I'm also a lifelong learner and believe that we all continue to grow through experience. I value the lessons that come from working with children and appreciate the opportunity to learn from them just as much as I hope to teach and guide them. I am CPR certified and have a background check.

Madeja S. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Live-In Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in Chicago, IL: Madeja S.

I grew up in a home with many infants/toddlers all my life. Taking care of kids have been a big experience in my upbringing. Due to the history of babysitting in my family, I started to enjoy it more and gain more experience the past 7-8 years with kids outside of my family. Even today, I have plenty of references to share. I enjoy watching children grow - mentally, physically, and emotionally in this world. Love being apart of helping parents out when needed.
