Hi! I’m a graduate student located in Chicago with over 10 years of childcare experience and an educational background in public health and psychology. I have held several nannying positions as well as being a regular date night sitter or anything inbetween. I am comfortable with children of all ages, particularly infants and toddlers, but I enjoy working with older children as well. I have some experience with children with physical and developmental disabilities that can be discussed further. For multiple years in college I was an ACT tutor and test prep tutor and worked with kids 10+ yrs old 1-on-1. I also used a childcare app “Wyndy”, where I babysat for at least 30 different families through out the years and have several pre-made reviews I can show you. I am the oldest of 7 as well so besides having professional experience with children, I really love just working with kids, having fun with them & supporting their development. As a caregiver I would describe myself as warm, open-minded, and encouraging of children’s’ curiosity. I love going outdoors with kids on walks, to museums, etc, but also know how to entertain at home. I pride myself on making sure kids feel as understood and respected as possible and am open to matching parenting styles. I’m comfortable with many different childcare situations and am open to discuss opportunities. I have a vehicle, am up to date on vaccinations, and no pet allergies. Let me know if you have any other questions! **AVAILABILITY: For Spring 2026, I am regularly unavailable on M and W afternoons due to my classes
