Iβm from the Chicago Lakeview/Wrigleyville area. Iβve been a childcare worker for my church for four years where I babysat and fed, cleaned, and kept children busy while parents were at church services. Iβve also babysat and they need for the members of my church and my neighbors where I would bathe, feed, change, cook, and clean for 2 years. I have multiple years of experience working with autistic children, children with down syndrome, and nonverbal children. I completed a CNA (nursing assistant) program so I professionally can give care to all age groups. I also have my CPR and BLS certification.

Mom of 3 (25, 23, 22) and wife of 26 years. Been doing childcare, of all ages, since I was 12. I have a BS in Elementary Education and taught kindergarten/pre-k before starting my family and deciding to stay home. When my oldest was 6 weeks old I started watching another 6-week-old and have been watching other people's children in my home, and in theirs, ever since. I have experience with all ages and am happy to make meals, do housework and run errands. I love to be out and about with kids exploring and engaging in all kinds of activities. I am familiar with most of the area libraries, parks and nature centers as well as the Morton Arboretum (I have a membership), children's museum and any other fun places we can find! * I have references upon request
