I have been a childcare professional for 15+ years for all kinds of children from infants to families of five. My love for taking care of others and lightening their load motivates my work. I consider myself a sunny and generous person and it is my goal to make a profound positive impact on the lives of the families I care for. I aim to become an intuitive helper whose main goal is to provide a safe and loving environment for children to learn and develop. I care deeply about aiding children in their development physically, mentally, and emotionally through communication, nutritious eating, and enriching activities and play. It would be my pleasure to help out with any kind of childcare you are in need of!

I have a high regard for children and their well-being, and it has always been my passion to be a positive influence in their lives. I believe experience is the best teacher and I encourage the kids I work with to explore and question the world around us. I am not afraid to get down and dirty with them and am very hands on. Your children will not be sitting in front of a television with me. We will be outside as much as possible (and we'll probably get dirty). We will make our own Play-doh, we will make art, we will build a fort with the couch cushions, we will embrace every moment. I am organized, punctual and manage my time well. I am flexible and quick on my feet. I employ emotional maturity, sound judgment, and strong interpersonal skills. I am also hardworking and eager to learn new skills. I have my own car, current license, and good driving record. I have extensive experience with children from newborn up. I am hard working, dedicated, creative, and fun-loving. My qualifications include: Bachelor's degree in Child Development; Certified Child Life Specialist; Former preschool teacher. I have over 10 years experience working with children; experience with special needs, twins, and share-cares; infant/child and adult CPR and first aid. I have a valid driver's license and safe car. I can help with sleep training and behavioral issues.

Hello! I'm a proud graduate of the University of Illinois. I have hands-on experience teaching daycare, Pre-K, and 2nd-grade mathematics and substituted in kindergarten classrooms. I am currently a graduate student studying clinical mental health counseling and would love to pursue a career in childhood therapy. Coming from a large family, I’ve always loved caring for my nieces and nephews, and I bring that same passion to my work with children. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

I have experience caring for children of different ages, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for them. I’ve helped with daily routines such as homework, playtime, organizing activities, and keeping a consistent schedule. I understand how important it is for children to feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I always make safety my top priority. I communicate well with both children and parents, making sure everyone feels heard and informed. I enjoy being creative through games, crafts, and outdoor activities, and I’m able to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. While I don’t have much experience with cooking yet, I’m very willing to learn and follow any instructions or meal guidelines provided. What makes me a great caregiver is my genuine care for children, my strong sense of responsibility, and my ability to stay calm and positive in any situation. I strive to build trust and create a warm environment where kids can learn, grow, and have fun.
