A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Ana Cervantes, im a 21 year old information systems student at UIC living in the little Italy/west loop neighborhood. Despite my career path, I’ve always had a passion for teaching & caring for kids. I currently work in a nursery/preschool in the West Loop area as a floater in the infant and two year old classrooms. Aside from this, I’ve worked at a YMCA summer camp (summer [phone number hidden]) on a team of counselors for large groups of kids aged 5-12. In addition to these experiences, a WILCO childcare program at my high-school allowed me to receive a couple ECE credentials, experience working at a daycare & CPR training/certification as well!

Recent reference

"Marjorie quickly became a member of our family and her connection with our son, my husband and I continues today. What is behind that long-term relationship? Dependability and flexibility to match our busy schedules. An even-mannered nature and quirky sense of humor. Proactive and confident in raising issues or help needed. Finally, she was willing to take on additional duties and tasks as our son moved from infant to teen. We count ourselves blessed to have her with us for close to 18 years."
