Ava Forest Park
$15 per hour for 1 child

I am a second-year medical student at Loyola with a background in neuroscience and I am looking to help families, offering child and senior care. I have experience as a caregiver for my grandmother and for my autistic brother. I have also worked as a math tutor, so I am happy to help with tutoring or errands like driving to/from school and appointments. Ideally, I am hoping to house-sit and have time to study for my own school work alongside helping kids with their homework. I am allergic to animal dander, but I am a huge animal lover nevertheless! Other fun facts about me: I play the flute and piano, I used to play soccer and now rock climb, and I volunteer at the Field Museum!

I'm trustworthy, reliable, and pretty flexible with parents' & child's needs, scheduling/ adhering to naps (sleep training), enjoy partaking in transitions/ milestones/ overall development, and making sure that children are on track - based on recommnded guidelines!

Part of my philosophy is to shadow a child, allowing them freedom in exploration and expression thru nurturing, and creating a safe environment!! I'm bilingual (English/ Spanish), a non-smoker & pet-friendly (additionally, providing pet-sitting services)! I'm up-to-date with my vaccines & recently renewed my CPR/ First Aid/ AED Certification earlier this Summer!
