A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Rachel. I’m 21 years old and am currently trying to go back to college. I’m currently a Behavior Technician with my BCAT specializing in kids with autism. I work at a facility that is far from my home, and I'm looking for something with an easier commute because of this snow! I’m a sister of an 11 year brother who I’ve lived with up until about a year ago. I have experience in babysitting him almost every day and I loved it! I’m willing to clean and keep up with pets and chores as well. I am also CPR certified with EMT training. Thank you for your time!

Over the years, I have developed a deep understanding of children's needs, interests, and learning styles through different education and leadership roles.

With my compassionate nature and passion for teaching, I am confident in my ability to make a positive impact on your child’s life.

"Megan is a delightful human to work with, she is reliable, responsible, and she always acted with my family’s best interest at heart. She was so creative in her approach, I could always tell my Angie was having a good time when in her care. She is firm when necessary but always kind and warm.
Any family would be lucky to have Megan be part of their team!"

A little bit about me
Hi wonderful families!
My name is McKenna, and I am a passionate, creative, and dedicated educator. I earned my B.A. in Education from Elmhurst University and will be attending the Erikson Institute this fall to pursue my master’s in Early Childhood Education, Special Education, and English as a Second Language.
I have been a preschool teacher for the past year, fostering strong relationships with children and families. Early education lays the foundation for lifelong learning, and I strive to make it equitable, engaging, and accessible for every child.
Being part of a child’s growth is truly an honor. I create a nurturing, inclusive space where children feel valued and excited to learn. My goal is to inspire curiosity, creativity, and confidence while going above and beyond for my students.
I would love the opportunity to support your family and be a positive influence in your child’s learning journey!
Warmly,
McKenna

Hi, my name is Rosalina. I’m 45 and a married woman with four pets and happily live in Chicago.
I have 10+ years experience being paid to care for others children. I’ve also worked with children on the spectrum. Helped run a summer program for the city in Fremont, Ca. I have taught children’s art class.
I myself don’t have children but proudly an Aunt\Tia to three amazing humans. Growing up in a Latino household taught me he importance of family and community. I work under the premise that everyone deserves a safe healthy life. Especially children, I may not have children but it’s doesn’t mean I don’t have a role in raising them after all it does take a village.
As for my interests I love going to museums and conservatories. I’m a collage artist and herbalist. Reading and movies are a weekly ritual in our home. I have a dog and cat and two turtles that I adopted.

A little bit about me
I am currently a preschool teacher for ages 2-3. I have worked with ages 2 months-13 years old. I’ve been a teacher/ nanny for 8 years. I love working with children, I believe it is my true calling. I love being able to help them grow and expand their learning while building a bond with both the children and families. I believe in engaging with a child and not just providing supervision. It is important to be more than physically present when it comes to children. I am excited to find my next journey in child care!
