I am the oldest of six children and was more of a parent than a sister to all of them. The two youngest kids are 15 and 13 years younger than I am. I love children and have always enjoyed being around them. I am a trained Chef and can cook or help prepare meals if needed. I am also a Chef Instructor and Assistant Food Stylist. At this time I am interested in occasional babysitting to supplement my freelance income. Being able to hang out with kids would be a fun and fulfilling way to do that.
“Quick to respond, so friendly, and good with my 11 year old. They had a great time!”
Hello! My name is Caroline and I'm a nonprofit professional for a healthcare association and graduate of DePaul University. I have over 14 years of childcare experience, working with children as young as 2 months, and as old as 12 years. I've worked as an after-school nanny, date night sitter, full-time nanny, overnight sitter, and as an Au Pair(nanny abroad). As an Au Pair, I lived with a family of three in Madrid. In addition to caring for their child, I provided English language instruction. I love to be engaging with crafts, reading, and playing outside. In addition to looking after your children, I'm happy to do light house work (laundry, dishes, vacuuming, etc.) and healthy meal prep. As an animal lover, pets are not a problem for me. I am also fluent in Polish and have an advanced proficiency of Spanish. A few of my interests include yoga, going to concerts, and exploring the city. If you're looking for a friendly, respectful, crafty and experienced babysitter, then I'd be a great match for your family. I am fully vaccinated. Please notify me of cancellations within 24 hours, thanks!
