Lorrie W.
Babysitter in Chicago, IL
Hi, my name is Viktoriya Thibaud, I am 35 years old.
I love being around babies, infants and toddlers. I have strong empathy skills, i understand and share the feelings of a child. I am also a good listener, i always listen to children and interact with them in a gentle and caring way.
I have worked in a hospitality business for 7 years and I have great customer service skills as well as a friendly, courteous manner and a calm demeanor. I speak 3 languages: Russian, English, conversant in French and I have CPR and First-Aid certification. I have experience in tutoring and working with infants and toddlers in a childcare center and a summer camp as well as being a nanny for a sweet 1 year old baby girl. I have always wanted to work with kids. I have a very active and energetic toddler and she is worth raising 3 kids at the same time. My husband works a lot and i do not have any helpers or family members close by. This being said, I have a very good experience in raising a baby on my own, in taking care of her needs as well as creating a healthy and a safe environment. Like any mom out there I went through teething, colic and all sorts of other problems bothering babies, I know how to deal with it. Speaking of entertaining a wiggling toddler, I learnt how to become an inventive, creative and enthusiastic mother. During pandemic we have never sat home and got bored, I was always finding ways to bring a sparkle into our groundhog days starting with nature preserve walks, flowers and insects’ hunts, water adventure in a backyard kiddie’s pool and dress up concerts, hiking, picnics, baking new type of cookies every week, creating obstacle courses inside and outside and of course lots and lots of reading!
