Child Care Provider and Nanny - MELISSA K. (User #477102)

Hello, My name is Melissa. I currently attend UIC and will be a junior in the fall. My major is teaching of history, intending to teach high school. However, I hope to one day be an elementary school principal. I love kids and love having the opportunity to interact with them. I have been a babysitter since 8th grade. I used to baby sit for 3 boys 3 to 4 times a week. I also volunteered as a camp leader at Vacation Bible Camp for 4 summers and help teach church school when I am home. This past semester I was abroad studying in the Czech Republic, while I was abroad, I also volunteered at a school teaching 12-14 year olds English. This summer I am a nanny for 3 kids (ages 8, 10, 12). I am very responsible but know how to have a fun time with the kids. My school schedule is set and is as follows: Mon/Wed 12-3 and Tues/Thurs 9-5. I am willing to work before or after classes and on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. My school schedule will change come mid January and will be Mon/Wed/Fri 11-1, Tues 11-2, Thurs 11-2 and 5-8. I will also have a break from school for a month starting December 11 and would then be available any time. Right now I am really looking for a 1-3 day a week job, occasional sitting, or a position that allows me to work during my month off of school. I know that kids get 2 weeks off for school and parents aren't always able to get off, I would be available as a holiday nanny. I am pretty flexible, feel free to contact me about any position. I will be living in the medical district near UIC and would be looking for a position near there or near public transportation. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I will also provide references upon request. Thanks for your time, I hope to hear from you soon!
