A little bit about me
Hi there! My name is Yailene, and I’ve always had a big heart for working with kids! Growing up with a toddler and a high schooler as siblings (talk about range!), I quickly became the go-to helper in my family — from diaper duty to high school homework. I’ve also cared for family friends’ children, from newborns to teens, and even kids with special needs, including epilepsy and ADHD.
I’m super organized, love to cook (especially kid-friendly meals!), and I bring a fun, energetic vibe while always staying alert and responsible. Whether it’s playtime, story time, or navigating a tricky moment, I’m all in and ready to support every step of the way!

A little bit about me
My name is Jarely and I’m a 21-year-old student at the University of Illinois at Chicago, pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Learning (expected Dec. 2025), with plans to earn a Master’s in Applied Behavior Analysis. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and have intermediate proficiency in American Sign Language. I was born and raised in Chicago and am proud of my Mexican roots. I have a strong interest in the emotional and social development of children. I’ve volunteered for over five years at my local elementary school, primarily supporting Pre-K and Kindergarten students. I also hold a paraprofessional license in Illinois and have completed over 60 credit hours in child development-related courses. These experiences have fueled my passion for working with young children and supporting their growth. Outside of academics, I enjoy long walks, cooking, and crafting activities that help me stay creative and grounded.

A little bit about me
Hi I’m Sadie! I’m an 18-year-old honors student who loves working with kids and creating a safe, positive environment for them to grow and have fun. I have several years of babysitting experience and worked at a day camp last summer, where I looked after large groups of children.

Whether it's helping with homework, planning fun activities, or just being a reliable extra set of hands, I bring a responsible, caring, and upbeat attitude to every job.
I also have a driver’s license and a clean driving record, so transportation is no problem. I’d love to connect and learn more about how I can support your family!

A little bit about me
I am a 27 year old dog-mom looking for a job in which I feel I can do something important. I have always wanted to work with kids but didn’t know where to start or if it was the right position for me.
I have done retail jobs, restaurants, event planning, office, and non profit work in the past. The one thing that I consistently felt in all of these positions was unfulfilled as the work wasn’t directly aligned with my personal values. Even at the non-profit job I was tasked with back of house duties such as budgeting for leadership and foster parent training events. I did not feel like my work made a difference.
I truly value knowledge, creativity, whimsy, individualism, the environment, and just making the world a better place for the kids we bring into it. While I am fully aware of how cheesy this all sounds, I still believe in this wholeheartedly.
I think that caring for young ones is the most fulfilling thing someone could do because at the end of the day, they are our future!
