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. I love getting outdoors and enjoying what Chicago has to offer during the summer. My temperament is calm and nurturing, and I focus on implementing consistent routines with the kids I work with.
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. When I'm not in the classroom or babysitting, my hobbies include hiking, rock climbing, reading, and spending quality time with my dog, Peanut! I look forward to meeting your family!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
