  About Me
 
Hi. My name is Sandy. I am married(Jeff) with 2 wonderful adult boys(John and Erik) and another beautiful son(Jason) who passed shortly after birth. My entire life, with the exception of one waitressing job has been in childcare. As a teenager I had many babysitting jobs and the waitressing job. I also worked as a Mother's helper. After I was married and had my boys I worked out of my home doing daycare for quite a few families. Once both of my boys were in school full-time I slowly got out of the home daycare business. After that I started working as a Kindergarten aide at the elementary school I attended as well as where my boys were. I still currently work there but have also added 3 year old pre-school aide to the other aide position. I have been there approximately 13 years. About 6-7 years ago I took on a second job at a YMCA. During the school year I work in their before and after school program. When school is out for summer I work their summer camp. I also have done a few other jobs there. I have lived in the same house since I was 4 years old. I love reading, swimming, taking walks, and being outdoors. I enjoy spending as much time with my family as I can, including my mom. I am an only child and my mom and I lost my dad when I was 14. I am a huge sports fan. My 3 favorites are the Blackhawks, Cubs, and Bears. I am a true blue fan to them all. I love animals, including our 4-legged family member, a dog(Roxy). I am a huge country music fan but also enjoy rock and pop. There isn't too many things that come to my mind that I dislike. I hope this little peek inside my life helps you decide if you would like to talk to me more about any potential positions. Thank you for your time. Sandy

Additional Experiences/Qualifications/Preferences:
I truly am looking for a position where my main priority is the kids. I am flexible on how many kids there are, pay, and hours. I have only worked minimally with special needs so I may not be as comfortable with their care but would be willing to put my best effort forward. I don't mind doing some very light household chores but my main focus is the kids.
