Ariel O.

Im a Chicago-based professional seeking a part-time babysitting or after-school caregiver role to supplement my income as I plan my upcoming wedding. I bring dependability, organization, and over two decades of hands-on childcare experience.

I grew up in my grandmothers successful home daycare where I helped after school from a young age, and Ive been babysitting since I was about 12. Ive cared for children from infancy through pre-teens (012), including after-school routines, homework help, mealtime/bedtime, and engaging, age-appropriate activities. I especially love fostering early literacy and simple STEM exploration (think read-alouds, sensory play, kid-friendly science lab activities, and everyday math games that make learning fun).

Professionally, I manage complex client projects and cross-functional teams, so reliability, clear communication, and calm problem-solving are second nature. Parents tell me they appreciate that Im proactive, punctual, and great at sharing concise updates so they always know how the evening went.

What I offer:

- Safe, nurturing care for infants, toddlers, and school-age kids
- Homework help and structured routines (snack, play, wind-down, bedtime)
- Screen-light, engaging activities (books, crafts, music, simple STEM)
- Clear, respectful communication with parents and an eye for details (allergies, schedules, preferences)
- Ability to pass a background check
- First aid and CPR trained

Im looking for recurring evening or weekend hours and am also open to occasional date nights. I would love to learn more about your familys needs and how I can help.

Additional services: Meal preparation, Laundry, Potty training, and Light housekeeping.
