Alisia W. - Carol Stream Babysitter

For the last four months, I have cared for a 2-year-old boy for about 30 hours a week. He is moving to Wisconsin on Nov 9, and I am looking for another baby-sitting position. I have two children, a son who is 4 and a daughter who is 2. On weekdays my children would be with me while I care for your child at your home or mine. On the weekends my husband would care for our children while I babysit.

Before I began staying at home with my children full time, I worked in public health for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for four years. I hold a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in public health from two of the top 20 universities in the country. You will likely not be asking for SAT/ACT prep classes but you can be assured that I speak and write excellent English. Due to my public health background I focus more on health and safety than most.

It is important to me to engage children in conversation and developmental activities (blocks, reading, crafts, sorting, and games) to do all I can to provide them with a top notch education before they set foot into a classroom. Similarly, I limit screen time to one hour per day for children's programming and do not watch television when children are present.

When I'm not caring for kids, I spend quality time with my husband, tidy up my house, read, attend church, and teach the 3-year-old class in the children's ministry.
