I have been a pediatric speech language pathologist for 14 years. Prior to beginning my career, I had extensive baby-sitting experience. I will provide care for my nephews and niece regularly. I have extensive experience working with children with special needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder. In addition to providing speech and language services, I am also a feeding therapist. I am CPR-certified. I am just looking to do some work slightly outside of my career-field.

Casey $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lincolnwood, IL

Growing up in an in-home daycare run by my mom, caring for children is one of the things I know best--I have over ten years of professional experience working as a daycare teacher, babysitter, and nanny. Past work has included caring for 1-5 kids at a time, at a range of ages from infant to school-aged. I specifically love getting to know kids for all of their quirks and personalities, helping them learn and grow, and doing all I can to ensure that we have a full, fun day together. A little about me personally: I am from originally from the Nashville area and moved to Chicago to pursue a career in the performing arts, which I do primarily now alongside childcare. Besides performing and caring for kids, I enjoy reading, exploring the city, and spending time with friends. I look forward to meeting and connecting with you soon!

Hello! My name is Si’edah. I came across your profile and wanted to introduce myself because I believe my background and experience align well with what you’re looking for.

Prior to nursing, I worked closely with adults with disabilities and individuals on the autism spectrum, supporting them through daily living activities, arts and crafts, creative projects, and engaging routines. I truly enjoy cooking and can follow new recipes with ease. I also love incorporating movement, gentle exercise, and meaningful activities into the day to keep things positive and engaging. I am nurturing, patient, and attentive, and I always strive to create a safe, comfortable, and encouraging environment for the people I work with. I have reliable transportation, I do not smoke, and I approach every role with professionalism and kindness. I would love the opportunity to connect and see if I may be a good fit for your needs.
