A little bit about me
My name is Reyna, I am a junior at Illinois state university studying criminal justice and a minor in children studies. I enjoy play sports and spending time with friends and family. I enjoy working with kids as I have had several years of childcare experience through both babysitting and volunteer leadership roles, and I genuinely enjoy working with children of all ages. I served as a Youth Group leader, Sunday School Shepherd, and icKids Summer Camp Counselor. In these roles, I supported children using positive behavior management strategies, led engaging curriculum-based activities, and helped teach Biblical knowledge in a fun and encouraging environment. In addition to supervising and caring for children, I created a safe, supportive, and energetic environment where kids felt included and encouraged to participate. My years of babysitting have further strengthened my ability to be patient, responsible, dependable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs

A little bit about me
I have always had a natural connection with children, and my experiences as both a babysitter and an au pair have allowed me to develop strong childcare skills.
With infants, I learned how to create a safe and soothing environment, focusing on their basic needs like feeding, diapering, and sleep routines. Working with toddlers and young children, I discovered the importance of fostering creativity through play, supporting their language development, and encouraging their social skills. As I moved to older children, I focused on helping with homework, building their confidence, and promoting positive behavior.
Being an au pair provided me with a deeper, family-based experience. I was responsible for daily routines, school drop-offs, and organizing family activities, all while developing close, trusting relationships with the children. I learned how to balance multiple tasks and communicate effectively with parents to ensure the children’s needs were consistently met.
