$25 per hour for 1 child
Hello! My name is Kayla, and I'm currently a union electrical apprentice that works full time and goes to school. I grew up and currently live in Libertyville with my fiancé and 3 cats. In my free time I love to ski and ride my motorcycle. I'm currently a part time nanny and am looking for other part time nanny work and or occasional babysitting gigs. **Fun babysitting is my specialty** I'm not a "turn the TV on and play on my phone" sitter. If your kids are playing a game or running around, I'm doing it with them, not just watching. I love spending time with kids and I can't wait to meet yours! :)

So to speak, I’ve been doing caregiving for seniors for about 2 years now as my part time job. I have decided to explore, and try to nanny children.
