Hi! My name is Rhayna, and I am a recent Howard graduate from the Chicagoland area. I am offering childcare and some household services. I absolutely fell in love assisting and caring for children after volunteering with preschools in high school, watching family members, and promptly working at an early learning program facility during undergrad. At the early learning program, I would prepare lunch/snacks while keeping the children entertained, assisted in water play, outdoor games, and crafts, and most importantly, I encouraged children to build their self esteem and sense of confidence while engaging in different social and academic environments. Additionally, I assisted some teachers by reviewing assignments for young students, aged 2 to 5 year olds. During the years, I have gained experience in Spanish tutoring, homework help, sport practice, and even meal preparation as I enjoy cooking. I am sure I could be an asset to your family. I am allergic to cats and dogs, but I am okay to be around most small hypoallergenic pets. Lastly, it is important to me that I and the families I work with are in alignment, therefore I am always responsive and willing to reach your specific goals and make sure desires are met for your child(ren). Thank You Rhayna Berryhill

Hello! I work at a daycare currently and have been there for about 2 years. I’ve worked with kids as young as 3 months up to 5 years old. I’ve always wanted to work with kids and it is always the best part of my day getting to teach them new things! I am CPR certified. I can work any hours Monday-Friday with occasional date nights on the weekends.

Hi - My name is Essense, I'm 28 years old with a youthful look and spirit. I'm very patient, energetic, mature, compassionate, kind and dependable. I live in the south suburbs of Chicago and I am a graduate of Florida A&M University with a bachelors in Biology. I am a dance teacher and I have my own cosmetics line. I am offering child care for ages 3 and up. I love children due to my background in dance! I am also open to caring for children with unique needs. I started babysitting during college and I truly care deeply about our youth. My responsibilities have included cooking, cleaning, games, playground trips, hair styling, arts and crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. Nice to meet you! Essense :)

I’ve had the opportunity to nanny for 20+ families, whether it be ocasional sitting or reoccurring, I am equipped for the job. I have also worked for the Chicago Park District for three summers. Over that time I’ve cared for hundreds of children. I’ve learned how to best plan and execute daily activities. I am attentive and open to learning how to care for each and every person.

I am the oldest of 4 siblings , my youngest brother has Down syndrome and I was his primary care taker for many years so I have experience with children who need a little more patience than your normal kid. I also have 4 kids of my own ages 3-12 so I’m used to controlled chaos on the regular.
