Hi! I'm Rossy, a dependable, friendly, and responsible sitter based in the Chicago area. I work full-time as a Food Scientist, where organization, attention to detail, and reliability are essential every day. I was also a substitute teacher for Chicago Public Schools (CPS), which gave me valuable experience working with children of different ages, managing classrooms, and creating a safe, positive environment.As the oldest sibling in my family, I've naturally taken on a caregiving role and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I like keeping children engaged through games, crafts, reading, homework help, or outdoor activities. My top priority is always ensuring children are safe, happy, and well cared for.I know how important it is to find someone you can trust. I look forward to providing a safe, fun, and caring environment for your little ones!

years
experience
My life has been very full and exciting! I was able to pursue my dream career as a Licensed Midwife right out of college. I loved working with families, pregnancy, and babies for fifteen years. I transitioned out of this five years ago to be a Relationship Coach & Matchmaker, so I could work remotely and be there for my daughter during her teenage years. I am in a stable and loving relationship, and we moved to Milwaukee from Florida in June. I love being outdoors - walking, gardening, kayaking, and exploring cities. Art and music festivals are super fun! I am a healthy cook, always creating a new recipe to enjoy. Yoga, writing (I am a published author), reading, home improvement projects, and organizing are also activities I love.
