I enjoy working with kids, not only taking good care of them but also expending quality time with time. I like to include activities and games that not only entertain the little ones but also help with their cognitive and motor stimulation. I have experience with toddlers and also can take care of younger babies. I can provide help with house duties.

Hello I am a college student located near Loyola University Chicago but I have my car as reliable transportation. I’d love to work for your family for a date night or a last minute need. I have 2 summers experience working with large groups of children (ranging between 3mo-12yrs) at Lifetime fitness’s Kids Academy. I also have 2 years experience doing occasional babysitting for families specifically through this app. I have my infant, child, and adult CPR certification along with my first aid certification. I am very creative, so I would love to create fun and engaging activities for your child(ren). Or to just go along with any plans or schedule you have.
