Chelsea S. - Chicago Babysitter

Hello parents! My name is Chelsea Shirk and I live in Chicago (Roscoe Village). I'm originally from a small town called Springfield, Ohio. I've lived in Chicago for almost two years and I love every bit of it! I've worked for numerous of different families up here in the city. From newborns to a twelve year old, so I'm pretty sure I can take care of your kid(s)! Just a warning, I recently got a full-time nanny job so I'm only availble on the weekends and night time work.

Back home I was a camp counsler for a special needs camp for five years and I use to be a lifeguard as well. I also worked for Peace School and I was very involved with volunteering as well. I'm cetified in CPR, AED, Swim Lessons, Lifeguarding, and First Aid. I also have a drivers licenses, car insurance, and a car up here.

I'm really outgoing, funny, organized, on-time, multi-tasker, and always up for a challenge. I love play and help the kids learn and grow into the person they're going to be. While I'm working, my main thing is to help you guys out. So doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, doing the dishes, helping with homework, and pretty much anything else doesn't bother me at all!

My mom is a librarian so I always grew up with books. I love reading and getting into characters when I'm telling the stories. My oldest sister (I'm the youngest on three girls) just had twins so I help take care of them by myself whenever I'm back home. I also love to play, doodle, and take the children out for new adventures (or create our own).

I know my degree is in Broadcasting, but after realizing it isn't working up here in Chicago, I'm taking the year off and going back to school sometime in 2010 for early childhood education. I want to save up enough money so I won't be thousands of dollars in debt when I'm older. I promise you I'm an experienced nanny. if you're interested, please feel free to call or e-mail me whenever you can! Thank you so much for checking out my profile! :)
