A little bit about me

Hi! Im Kate, Im currently a senior at the University Of Iowa studying Enterprise Leadership. I have been nannying for around 8 years now and have loved every second of it. This past summer I was full time nannying for a family of 4 kids so I am no stranger to a chaotic house hold!

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Hayley Heavey. I am 23 years old and newly moved to Lincoln Park. Working with children has always been a passion of mine. I have had multiple babysitting jobs, spent 2 months with an infant, have taught preschool swimming lessons for 5 years and spent 5 years working at an after school program for k-6th graders. I also have volunteered at multiple locations for children with special needs. I went to school for recreation management in hopes of one day opening my own daycare/preschool. Watching children learn and grow has always been a passion of mine. I had a nanny for 12 years when I was growing up and she made such a huge impact on my life that I want to make that impact on someone else's child's life. I grew up with younger brothers and many many cousins. (17 younger than me to be exact) to kids have always been a part of my life.

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Sonia I am 20 years old and currently in college for medical assisting, so I am doing online school from 8am-12pm. I am first aid and cpr certified. I graduated high school from PIUS XI Catholic High School in 2020. I enjoy playing volleyball, I’ve been playing since I was 12 years old. I also love any kind of art activity. I am constantly looking to learn new things so I do often pick up on new hobbies. For example, I taught myself how to do acrylic nails, I learned how to play chess, I listen to podcasts and read books whenever I can! I also would like to add that I really enjoy working with kids simply because of how creative and open minded they are at such a young age and overall how important their development is throughout this stage of life. I do have my own car so I can pick up from school or if they have any after school activities I can do that too! Hope to hear from you, thank you!
