Find a babysitter in Harwood Heights, IL

For the past 20 years I have been entrusted to nurture newborns, to help preschoolers learn their numbers and letters, to organize fun activities, educational outgoings and to help families balance the many demands in their lives. As a mother of four children myself, I have always been privileged to help young people grow and learn. I continue to find this kind of work to be my labor of love.

Hello! I’m an outgoing childcare expert who taught global policy to middle school and high school students for six years. In this role, I received ongoing training in childhood education and development. Currently I am working on writing and publishing a memoir. I’m a graduate of Northwestern University, where I majored in Economics and Political Science, and last year I completed my masters in Political Sociology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. I come from a large family, and I enjoy working with children. My childcare experience includes infants through high school age. I have also tutored extensively on many levels, including grade school math, high school English, and college economics. For fun I like to cook and play Ultimate Frisbee. Thank you for your consideration, and I hope to meet some of you soon. :)
