  About Me
 
Hi, my name is Alex and I am a young, energetic woman living in Chicago. I am about to graduate from a liberal arts college and I am looking for work. I love children and I helped raise my five younger brothers so I have a lot of experience.
As my mother is blind I also have a good deal of experience in dealing with issues surrounding those who are differently abled.
In my spare time I do a lot of reading, some yoga, writing, and amateur oil painting. My education was in philosophy, so I do a great deal of thinking about the world too.

  Work Experience & Education Background
 
10 years experience, 3 references
While I have no professional childcare experience, I helped raise my five younger brothers. Often I was left to care for them unsupervised for several days. I am very good with children and enjoy being around them. I am willing to start on a probationary period before being fully hired.
I also served as my mother's primary caretaker for several years. She is blind and diabetic. I had to feed and bathe her as well as administer her insulin shots and monitor her blood sugars.
I am always calm and have a very friendly manner. 
 
 
Childcare experience within the following age groups:
2 - 5 years, 5 - 10 years, over 10 years of age, twins, triplets  
Education/Training:
Bachelor's Degree 
My college was a four-year Great Books education on the southside of Chicago. All of the classes were discussion-based so I have learned to communicate very effectively with others and I love to discuss all manner of things.
