I am a public school kindergarten teaching looking for summer jobs! I have 15 years of teaching experience, mostly in preK and kindergarten, and several years of nanny experience including twins and newborns. I have my Masters degree in early childhood education and special training in teaching reading, so if your kiddo needs some summer tutoring, I might be a great fit for your family. I love getting outdoors and enjoying what Chicago has to offer during the summer. My temperament is calm and nurturing, and I focus on implementing consistent routines with the kids I work with.

Theresa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Theresa, and I am currently a preschool teacher with Gifted Children Academy, Chicago, IL. I am offering weekend Childcare and Senior Care services. I am a teacher by profession. I hold Associate Degree in Early Childhood, BSc in Elementary Education and Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from Loyola University Chicago, IL. In more than 20 years of my teaching profession, I have worked with different ages of children from babies to middle school supporting and nurturing children’s social and emotional development as well as supporting their educational quest. As a Senior Caregiver, I have also assisted Seniors with Activities of Daily Living, helped in Meal preparation and medication reminder. Kept warm company, documented actions by completing forms, reports and records. I also encouraged fluid intake and helped with laundry, while maintaining a clean and healthy environment for my client. I would highly appreciate working in a SMOKE FREE ENVIRONMENT, because I can’t handle second-hand smoke. I would also prefer working with families that have cats, not dogs.

I'm a fun, outgoing, and caring individual looking for part-time, flexible hours! I have a lot of experience with babies, toddlers, and elementary-age kids. When I'm not babysitting, I'm an actor around Chicago and teach theatre to kids ages 1-14, as a visiting teaching artist in preschools, elementary schools, and in special ed cluster classrooms. I have years of experience working with kids on the autism spectrum and pride myself on seeing all kids as whole, autonomous people. I love pets, arts and crafts, reading, and singing and dancing!
