A little bit about me

My name is Rakyra growing up in a large family right here in Chicago, I learned early on that childcare is about much more than just "babysitting." It is about creating a structured, nurturing environment where children feel safe to explore and learn. I am writing to formally express my interest in the Lead Teacher position at Everbrook Academy.
For the past several years, I have acted as the primary caregiver for my younger brother and cousins. While this began as a family responsibility, it developed into a passion for early childhood development. I have managed daily schedules for multiple children of varying ages simultaneously handling everything from meal prep and conflict resolution to educational activities and neighborhood outings to the local parks and playgrounds.
