Amy K. - Chicago Babysitter

Profile of Amy K.

Full-Time, 5 Years of Experience

I am a mother of two and am currently home with my children while caring for an infant on weekends. I have a daughter who is 2 1/2 and a son who is 1 1/2 years old. I previously worked with disabled adults creating opportunities for living and working independently in the community. I baby-sat for years as a teenager and have always enjoyed children. I also worked in a program for at risk youth where I was responsible for assisting teenagers to become independent.

My children and I spend the days enjoying a variety of activities and community resources. We visit the local parks and library and take classes at the YMCA. We also follow a solid routine at home with lots of free play, reading, music, rest and healthy meals.

I would love to share our fun with another child! I am looking to care for a child or pair of siblings full or part time. I can be flexible with dates and hours of care. I am only looking to provide care for one other family and to to a great job for them.
