Booked by 9 families in Kenilworth, IL

Hi! Nice to meet you, my name is Giuli, I am a dedicated, patient, non-smoker, and CPR/First Aid-certified childcare provider with extensive experience working with children of all ages-from young infants starting at 3 months old to toddlers and teenagers. I hold a background in hospitality management, which has helped me hone key skills like organization, clear communication, and creating a safe, welcoming environment for families. Whether engaging in fun, age-appropriate activities, assisting with routines and school-age needs, or going on peaceful outdoor walks, my goal is always to provide high-quality, trustworthy care tailored to your family’s needs. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your family! I also love animals. Dogs are my favorite. I have three at home: a German Shepherd, two poodles, and three cats

Giuli was great! Communicative, and my 7-year-old had a good time with her.

Hi! I am a current MBA student at Northwestern Kellogg looking to make some extra money while in school. I'm originally from California and, prior to Kellogg, was working as a clinical researcher at Stanford for over 8 years running clinical trials for Type 1 diabetes technology. My working role involves working with children of all ages (as young as 3 and up) in a healthcare setting, requiring 24/7 oversight for safety. Much of the research I do involve multi-day studies to oversee how new medical devices perform; I’m essentially serving as a babysitter and creating/overseeing activities to do (it’s hard to explain, but I’m more than happy to do so if you’d like more details about what this means!). I have my BS in human development from UC Davis. Aside from my current role, I have multiple years of experience working with children during college in classroom settings, through various baby sitting gigs, and even teaching piano. I love puzzles, baking, playing with my pup (and generally all dogs), and being outside and active as much as possible! I most recently spent a quarter abroad in Australia and was fortunate enough to complete a few multi day backpacking trips around Australia and New Zealand I love being creative and am happy to do arts and crafts and supervised baking projects with your child! I have been CPR/First Aid trained and certified multiple times in the past (including toddler/infant) for my job, though that has since expired. That said, I am confident in my abilities to address emergency situations from my past trainings.
