Booked by 1 family in Cicero, IL
Hi there! My name is Alvi and I am a part time babysitter in the Chicago area. I was originally a full-time nanny and babysitter and have worked with children a wide variety of ages. I went to college for musical theatre so I'm very outgoing and playful and love singing for kiddos! I used to work as a teaching artist with Stages Chicago and enjoy trying musical instruments and dancing with kids as young as 18 months. Currently, I work fulltime at an optometrist office during the day, but would love to fill my evenings and Saturdays with some baby-sitting gigs. I keep spaces tidy and prefer no complicated meal-prep.
“Alvi was so fun! Prompt, professional and my daughter would be happy to hang with Alvi again. Till next time!”
