I'd describe my personality as creative, empathetic, and outgoing!
I started working with kids when I was 12 as a "mother's helper." I have been babysitting ever since!
In my spare time, I like to try new restaurants, go on walks with my dogs, and try new fitness classes!

FAQs for finding a mother's helper
What type of mother’s helpers services can I find near me in Elmhurst, IL?
In a lot of cases mother’s helpers take on many of the same babysitter duties that a normal babysitter does.

Usually, a mother’s helper is a “babysitter in training” who isn’t old enough to be alone in a home with children, but can help keep an eye on children while parents are nearby while taking some time to themselves. Review 1 profiles to see which responsibilities mother’s helpers near you are happy to take on.
