A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Hannah! My child-care expands across all ages. I was born and raised in Chicago but I was a nanny for two families in Colorado that I grew very close to over the last several years. I live in the Gold Coast neighborhood with my Golden Retriever, Bowie.

I love to cook, spend time outdoors, and have dance parties! Looking forward to connecting.

A little bit about me

I am a Chicago Public School first grade teacher looking to switch careers. As of 2018 I have earned a B. A in Elementary Education with a specialization in Reading from the University of Iowa. Since I have been teaching in the Chicago public school district for two year previously having taught first grade. I am a certified Reading Teacher (K-12) and trained as a Wilsons Fundations Educator. Upon graduation I worked as a Substitute Teacher in the northwest suburbs of Chicago and an ELL Reading & Math Tutor at Kumon. Additionally, I have four years experience in Early Childhood at the Apple Tree Early Childhood Learning Center as lead teacher with newborn through preschool aged children. I have also been a seasonal nanny. My wide range of childcare experience and extensive background in education will be a perfect fit for families with children of any age who are also in need of tutoring services. My intention is to ensure that every child feels safe, heard, supported and loved!

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Lilly. I’m 16 years old. I know sometimes parenting can get hard. So I just wanted to take some weight off the parents by babysitting. I have done some other jobs before and I love kids. I am currently in high school. Although I am not CPR certified, I did learn how to do CPR during certain situations including adults and kids, in health class. I would love to help you in anyway!

Hello! My name is Monserrat and I am 20 years old. For the past three years I’ve work with this lovely family of three kids ( all under the age of eight).
