Iβm about to graduate with my masterβs in clinical mental health counseling specializing in working with children and teens! I have been babysitting for around 10 years and have experience with all ages! I have also worked as a camp counselor and have volunteered at a weeklong sleep away camp for kids with physical disabilities for the past 7 years! I truly enjoy spending time with kids and engaging them in fun activities! I am very active, so I love to get up and moving, and I enjoy coming up with creative activities that meet the needs of each child Iβm babysitting!

Hi! Iβm Denisse, Iβm 22 and I study mechanical engineering at UIC. Iβve always loved being around kids! I actually started working with them when I was 15 as a lifeguard. I later became head lifeguard and then assistant manager, and through all of that I learned that making sure kids are safe, cared for, and having fun is something Iβm really passionate about. After that, I worked as a teacher assistant at two wonderful daycares. Thatβs when I realized how much I love teaching and creating fun, playful moments with little ones. Whether it's singing, doing silly science experiments, or playing a round of Candy Land (which I always bring with me), I love making kids laugh and feel happy. Even though Iβm deep into my engineering classes now, working with kids still brings me so much joy. I really enjoy making their days special and I always bring a lot of energy, creativity, and heart into everything I do.

Hello, Iβm Jerome but you can call me Jay to keep it simple. Iβve been working with children all my life as I see them as leaders of the future. Iβve been mentoring youth within the Southside of Chicago the past three years and recently obtained my substitute license to teach over the past nine months.Some fun facts about me: I do enjoy art spaces (museums, live music, and murals) and nature such as state parks and walks by lake shore drive. When Iβm not working or studying, I prefer to spend time with my 18 month year old American Tri-Color pitbull dog name Prince.
