A little bit about me

Hello my name is Jonathan Rebolledo, I am currently in college to get my Physical Education Bachelors degree and being a sitter is great because it lets me mix my love for teaching with my passion for staying active and healthy. I get to help kids grow and learn, and I make sure they pick up good habits early on. I love to also be around with kids and really get to know them, have with them, and As a Physical Education major, I'm excited to work with kids and get them moving. I've spent a year taking care of my 4year old cousin, teaching her ABCs, numbers, and how to start sentences. I made sure she ate healthy, took her to the park to play soccer, and kept her busy with fun activities. I also helped out by washing her clothes, doing dishes, and cleaning the kitchen.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Dianely but I go by Dee. I am a Chicago native and have attended public schools through my elementary, high school, and even some of my college years. Now, as a substitute teacher, I travel to many different schools in drastically different neighborhoods, substituting for various grade levels and subjects across all age groups. I also have experience working in childcare facilities at local gyms, caring for children of different age groups. I've gained plenty of experience with children who have learning disabilities and feel confident that I can help them learn things at their own pace and in ways that they prefer to understand. Alongside work experience, life experience has helped me apply a nurturing and connective approach where I sympathize with the kids and create a space where they feel safe to express what they need or want in a way they feel comfortable.
