Hi - My name is Akie and I'm a music educator and youth development/arts nonprofit professional. I have been babysitting and tutoring since I was 12 years old!

I currently teach early childhood music at Merit School of Music and in home private piano and flute lessons.

Booked by 1 family in Lake Bluff, IL
I am a sophomore in college at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. I have years of experience working with all ages. My younger sister is 13 years my junior and I have cared for her since she was born. I was a youth leader with the Neighborhood Boys and Girls Clubs in Chicago and a camp counselor and daycare worker with JCYS. I have been a full time summer nanny for a family with two children under the ages of 6 for the past two years. I have babysit for around 20 families throughout my babysitting career! I am looking for babysitting jobs in Cleveland during the school year and Chicago during Holidays and summers.
