Hi! I am a college student majoring in Accounting at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have been a swim instructor for kids under the age of 12 for a year and I have tutored children how to play piano for 2-3 years. I am very social, patient and fun and have loved my teaching jobs and would like to move onto babysitting kids and taking care of pets as well! I love arts and crafts, games, fun activities, teaching, animals and walks! I am also a fluent Spanish speaker and an intermediate German speaker. My mom has been a full time nanny for 15 years and I have learned a lot on how to be an excellent babysitter!

Hi! My name is Dria and I am a college student studying in downtown Chicago at Roosevelt University. I am living in an apartment in Pilsen, and am available to work anywhere accessible by CTA! I am CPR and First Aid certified! I have 6 siblings, 3 of them being younger than me (2, 6, and 10 years younger!) so I have a lot of experience with kids of all ages. I have done a lot of summertime babysitting for family, friends, and more. I also worked as a Camp Counselor at a children’s summer camp! I can cook, clean, and of course ensure that your children are in a safe, comfortable, and fun environment!
I have over 15 years of childcare experience. Starting from babysitting to being a live in nanny. I have worked for daycares, youth organizations, and schools. I am a mentor, tutor, teacher and art therapist. I have been a program director and youth program specialist. I have experience being a caregiver as well. I have assisted seniors with house hold services and pet care. My caring and kind personality is why I do what I do. I’m creative, patient, witty and charismatic. I like to see people be their best selves
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!
I am fun loving of all kids and pets. With my own daughter I learned a lot about growing children and how to teach and help them grow into the best part of themselves. I also know what it means for parents to have a break, and can easily make sure to give you the peace of mind needed when taking a much needed break.
