I am a public school kindergarten teaching looking for summer jobs! I have 15 years of teaching experience, mostly in preK and kindergarten, and several years of nanny experience including twins and newborns. I have my Masters degree in early childhood education and special training in teaching reading, so if your kiddo needs some summer tutoring, I might be a great fit for your family.

Theresa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Theresa, and I am currently a preschool teacher with Gifted Children Academy, Chicago, IL. I am offering weekend Childcare and Senior Care services. I am a teacher by profession. I hold Associate Degree in Early Childhood, BSc in Elementary Education and Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from Loyola University Chicago, IL. In more than 20 years of my teaching profession, I have worked with different ages of children from babies to middle school supporting and nurturing children’s social and emotional development as well as supporting their educational quest. As a Senior Caregiver, I have also assisted Seniors with Activities of Daily Living, helped in Meal preparation and medication reminder. Kept warm company, documented actions by completing forms, reports and records. I also encouraged fluid intake and helped with laundry, while maintaining a clean and healthy environment for my client. I would highly appreciate working in a SMOKE FREE ENVIRONMENT, because I can’t handle second-hand smoke. I would also prefer working with families that have cats, not dogs.

Hi there! My name is Jessica and I am a high school teacher within Chicago Public Schools. I majored in history education and went on to earn my Master's in Instructional Design, along with an additional certification in special education. I have a wealth of experience working with young people in many capacities, including teaching, tutoring, babysitting, nannying, and coaching varsity volleyball. I am truly passionate about helping children and teens learn, grow, and have fun! Because of my background, I am highly skilled in helping kids manage their behavior and emotions in a positive way that includes them in the process. A little more about me: I am originally from Ohio and have been living and teaching here in Chicago for the past seven years.
