A little bit about me

Hola, mi nombre es Sochyl. Tengo 27 años, soy venezolana de nacimiento. Tengo una niña de 2 años de la cual he estado al cuidado exclusivo de ella desde su nacimiento. Me considero una persona paciente, cariñosa y responsable.

Me gusta trabajar con niños porque son sinceros, llenos de alegría y curiosidad. Cada día con ellos es una oportunidad para enseñar, cuidar y también aprender. Disfruto acompañándolos en su crecimiento, brindándoles seguridad y siendo parte de momentos que marcan sus vidas...
y las mías también.

A little bit about me

I’m a newcomer to Chicago, moved here from NYC after falling in love each time I visited. I’ve worked with children since I was 14, starting as a babysitter and even becoming a full time 1st grade teacher for some time. Left my school to move out here and would love to be outside and getting to know the area while also helping out a family!

A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Siomara Hernandez. I am a proud mom of three girls, who are now all in college. Being a mother has given me many years of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages. I also have experience with potty training, caring for toddlers and babies, creating fun and engaging activities, and making sure children feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have been babysitting and working with children for most of my life, and I truly enjoy being around kids and watching them learn and grow. I am patient, dependable, nurturing, and always treat the children I care for as if they were my own.

A little bit about me

I am a caring responsible personé I’ve worked as a patient transporter currently working in a hospital as a patient care technician I have a strong passion of working with kids I may not have paid experience, but I know that I do have experience while I was still in high school. People used to pay me to babysit their kids while they’re out. But what I have to say is that I have experience with providing care support to others and I am dependable attentive and always focus on creating a safe positive environment for the children I care for
