Sitter in Chicago, Illinois

I taught English as a Second Language for a small school district in Ottawa this past year, and I recently moved to Chicago. This was a wonderful opportunity for my family, and I hope that my services can be a positive influence in the lives of other Chicago families. I have been a teacher, tutor, and sitter throughout my career. The following details my experiences to date.
