Booked by 1 family in Chicago, IL

Growing up my grandma owned a daycare and I would help her take care of kids and plan arts and crafts time for them. I also have recent experience over the past 2 summers of working at a stay away camp looking over multiple different age groups of kids over the age of 6 full time. After my first summer I was promoted to leader of my cabin group and have learned to keep things together, better my communication, and still keep kids happy! Pets wise, I have 3 cats and a dog so I know how to manage!

Morgan $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Morgan offering childcare with pet and household services if needed during that time as well. I am super fun and energetic and strive to be the babysitter your kiddo asks to come back again and again! I have enjoyed working with children for the past 7 years - including several babysitting and nannying jobs with children newborn - 12 years old, working as a camp counselor for 4-12 year olds and as a behavioral therapist for children 2-10 years old and I am CPR and safety care certified. I really like all animals and I am happy to help with anything that is needed around the house whether that is cleaning, helping with a meal time (kiddo or animal!), helping with homework, or simply any random task that might need to be done while I am there and could have the time to do!
