Casey $22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Evanston, 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!
