A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Melanie, and caring for children is something that truly brings me joy. As a Mexican Latina who grew up in a hardworking community, I understand the importance of patience, responsibility, and creating a nurturing space where children feel safe and valued.
I have experience as a summer counselor working with 2-3-year-olds, where I helped little ones explore, learn, and grow in a supportive environment. This experience have taught me how to listen, encourage, and adapt to the unique needs of every child.
Currently, I’m a first-year student at the University of Chicago, studying Theater and Performance Studies with the dream of becoming a dance therapist. Movement and creativity are central to how I connect with kids, whether through storytelling, games, or dance. I believe that every child deserves a caregiver who sees and supports them fully, and I would love the opportunity to provide that for your family.

I am very positive and love to have fun, but I intend on keeping a regular schedule and an organized environment for the kids.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Daisy, I am from Oconomowoc, Wisconsin and I’m out here in Chicago for school! Growing up I would always watch my younger siblings, and my first official job was at a indoor playground called, “The Children’s Play Gallery.” During that time I worked with kids of all ages and planned fun and engaging birthday parties. I started babysitting children in my neighbor around the age of 14, and have been doing that on the side ever since. I love working with children, and recently worked as a nanny during the summer as well for two very lovely boys. I am also well versed with taking care of children of all ages. :)
