A little bit about me
Hello! I'm Ava, and I'm looking forward to relocating from St. Louis to Chicago on January 1st to support my partner at the University of Chicago.
I bring a unique and valuable blend of experience to childcare, which includes direct experience as a Family Nanny and cultural immersion as an Au Pair in Italy. My professional background in high-end hospitality further ensures I offer a service-first mindset, excelling in areas like proactive organization, logistical management, and maintaining impeccable safety standards.
My hands-on experience involved preparing meals, providing homework and tutoring assistance, and planning engaging excursions. I am highly skilled at establishing routines, communicating openly with parents, and managing household duties.
I am eager to transition my skills into a dedicated care role in Chicago.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Tashana, and I’m a 23-year-old full-time college student currently pursuing my Secondary English degree with the goal of becoming a teacher. Because my classes are fully online, I have open and flexible availability throughout the day, allowing me to be fully present and dependable for the families I support. I’ve been around children my entire life, starting with babysitting for family members and friends. I’m also a proud aunt to nine amazing kids, five girls and four boys, who truly mean the world to me. Spending time with them has helped shape my patience, creativity, and genuine love for childcare. Professionally, I have extensive experience working in educational and childcare environments, including daycare settings and schools. I’ve closely worked with infants, preschoolers, first graders, fifth graders, and high school students. This range has made me highly adaptable, attentive to developmental needs, and comfortable supporting children at every stage.

A little bit about me
I am available part time & interested in working on the weekends. After graduating from Ole Miss w/ a BA in political science in 2019, I worked as a live-in nanny to a wonderful family in Australia. While I’m a goofy person & like to bring that energy to my kids, I take my role as teacher, confidant, & guardian very seriously. My past experience has taught me to adapt my guardian style to reflect the needs of the child. This allows for better communication, builds trust in our relationship & helps the kids find confidence within themselves. I've also learned to make a plan & to also be prepared to abandon all plans & make something up on the spot! A childcare provider has to balance being the responsible trustworthy role model that a parent needs & the energetic, adventurous friend that the kids will respect & want to play with. I have this balancing act down pat which is why I think parents love to have me as a childcare provider!
