A little bit about me

Hi, I'm Saffron! I'm a full-time public school educator during the school year, where I support children ages 4-18, including learners with disabilities. Before that, I supported youth as a nanny for toddlers and babies, and as a teaching artist at an after-school program for elementary-age (PK-6th) children. Because of my years of experience in diverse public schools like those in CPS, I am well-versed in trauma- and disability-informed de-escalation strategies; I pride myself in being a safe and supportive adult for all children. In my free time, I love to make art--creative kids and I really click!

I am available part-time/as needed until the end of the school year. After the first week of June, I am available full-time.

A little bit about me

I started working as an assistant teacher in 2021. I worked at Children’s Lighthouse. I instantly loved it. Spending majority of my time with these kids was so rewarding. I started in an infant class and transitioned into a toddler teacher. My daily routine would be start at 8:00am help the lead teacher checked the students in as parents did drop offs. Breakfast was served at 8:30am. Nap time was at 9:00am. As they woke up one by one, we’d get ready for story time. Lunch was served at 11:00am. Circle time was at 12:00pm. We either read books or sang songs. If the weather was pleasant we’d go for walks outside. If not they can go to the gym and play with toys. Snack time was at 4:00pm. Parents would start to pick up around 4:30pm-6:30pm. It didn’t feel like a job to me. I absolutely loved every minute of spending time with these little humans watching them grow into our future leaders.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Zanilyah, and I’ve been surrounded by children my entire life. My grandmother owned a daycare, so I practically grew up in a child care setting. I’m currently a junior at the University of Illinois at Chicago, majoring in Education with a concentration and endorsement in Early Childhood Education. I come from a big family and am the oldest of five siblings and many cousins, so caregiving has always been a natural part of my life. I’m also fluent in sign language, as I come from a Deaf family, and I love using it to help children communicate in expressive ways.
