I dont have a fancy profile because I have an actual resume that highlights my skillset. My resume and portfolio, along with my background speak volumes of my passion for what I have been doing for nearly 30 years: working with children and families. My portfolio also speaks to my ability to care for your children and home, and why you should hire me. I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience that is of value and resources for families. From caring for newborns, to transitioning through the first year milestones, potty training, etc, I have the experience and am able to meet your child where they are at while helping you transition through said milestones and/or family changes (new sibling, pet, etc). Given the amount of scams, I am only seeking conversations with verified families. As an older candidate, I'm somewhat self conscious about my experience as I have had some families look down on me due to my age. What is your email address? I'll send my resume.
Dani is an experienced, friendly, and unflappable sitter! If you're in Chicago, know that she visits frequently, so don't make my initial mistake and overlook her because her location is listed as Wisconsin. Dani was the first sitter our preschooler met who wasn't a family friend, but any worries we might have had disappeared within 20 minutes of her arrival. She is super friendly, and both extremely knowledgeable and experienced when it comes to toddlers and preschoolers. She let our son warm up to her at his own pace, and asked thoughtful questions around his routine. She is communicative and prompt, and was able to come through for us at the last minute. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future.
