Hello! My name is Kaila and I am Mental Health Counselor and fine artist with extensive experience in childcare. I am currently finishing my Masters of Art in Art Therapy and Counseling and work with DCFS youth. I am originally from NY where I began my Clinical Art Therapy journey at a residential facility for youth and adults with mental illness. I have over 6 years of babysitting/nanny experience with all ages of kids including twins, children with ADHD, and also pets. I was a tutor for 4th and 5th graders for about a year and a half before I became an art instructor for adults, though I quickly fell in love with teaching the younger populations! Overall, I characterize myself as highly passionate, outgoing, and dependable person. I encourage children to disconnect from technology and find creative expression in art or sport or nature. I believe a babysitter/nanny has Read more a strong impact on a child's life, which is why I put my passion and energy into creating a fun and memorable world. A few things to know: - I have a Valid NY Drivers License and would be happy to provide copies if needed. However, I do not have my car with me in Chicago. I am very comfortable and familiar with Chicago's public transit system and encourage walking when the weather permits! - I currently have open availability until the Fall. My hours are mostly flexible and can be moved around if need be. - I am 60% Italian, so cooking and housekeeping were always present growing up! Thus, I can cook for picky eaters or children with dietary restrictions! - I have experience with medication administration including psychotropic medications and those that require self-administration such as insulin or other IMs. - I love all animals! Big, small, scaly, furry etc. Anything else feel free to message me! I am more than happy to provide more information, my detailed resume or references!
