A little bit about me

My name is Valerya Aragon. I am 18 years old and studying to be a ESL Elementary school teacher at NIU in Dekalb, IL. My home town is Melrose Park, IL and I went to school at West Leyden High School in Northlake, IL. I previously worked at Goldfish Swim School in Elmhurst, IL. for 3 years and that's where I got my inspiration for teaching! I've had my CPR and First Aid training for the last 3 years along side with that. I've always enjoyed working with kids and babysitting is something I've been recommended to do by parents and coworkers! I know how to cook and bake, and I love doing that (especially baking for others). I am also Bilingual in English and Spanish and have been since I could remember. I used to teach classes in Spanish and fluent in both languages (reading, speaking, writing, etc.).

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Virginia a 22 year old currently residing in Melrose Park. I graduated from the University of Notre Dame in May. I have a full time offer for an accounting firm but don’t start until the end of 2025, therefore I am looking for an opportunity to make some money and work with kids in the meantime. I have been babysitting all throughout high school and into college. I am extremely patient and willing to do non-screen activities with children. I have also done a lot of tutoring and wouldn’t mind tutoring while babysitting. I have also done work as a cleaning lady in the past so I am open to doing some cleaning if necessary. I have a lot of free time and am very flexible with my hours.
