Hello! I'm Medb and I use they/them pronouns. I'm 22 years old and am a psychology and statistics student at Cal Poly Humboldt, though am currently home in Lincoln Park for the summer. Since I was 12, I've worked for an organization called CircEsteem, a youth circus located in Uptown. There, I was a counselor, coach, and mentor for kids ages 2-17. I was immersed in a very diverse environment, and gained experience caring for children with different support needs. I also have taken care of infants as young as 3 months. As a sitter, and more broadly as an individual, I ground myself in the values of empathy, creativity, community, and self-esteem. Through play and art, I hope to aid in teaching kids the importance of loving ourselves and others. Additionally, I have worked as a tutor for both grade school and high school students and am always happy to help with homework. I am currently task training my own service dog, and am very pet friendly :) And as a fun little bonus, I love teaching kids basic circus skills like juggling, and am into all kinds of art work and creative projects! I look forward to hearing from you:) *CPR and First Aid Certified* *Vaccinated and boosted*

Hello! I have a genuine love for kids and enjoy spending time with them, whether it's playing games, helping with homework, and more. For a family, I provided care for their three-month-old, two-year-old, and their four-year-old. This involved managing diverse needs and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for each child. Caring for others is second nature to me (oldest sister of 5), I have always strived to create a nurturing and supportive atmosphere for everyone around me (including fur babies as well). I am guided by my morals as I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I mention this as I don't celebrate any holidays however, I'm pretty creative with coming up with fun seasonal activities ;D
