About Altina

Hi there! My name is Tina, and I'm a second-year journalism student. Growing up in a big family, I've always been around kids and started taking care of my younger cousins (as young as 3) when I was 13. I currently work as a before-and-after-school activity leader at the park district, where I've gained experience working with children ages 4 to 11. Outside of work, I've cared for kids as young as 3 and as old as 14, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of ages. I love working with kids because it makes me genuinely happy. It's so rewarding to see them grow, learn, and have fun. I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where they can thrive. I'm available Thursday through Sunday, with some flexibility earlier in the week. If you're looking for a dependable and caring sitter, I'd be happy to help! I'm also open to a trial period so that we can make sure we are a good fit.
