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

A little bit about me
Hello my name is Karriemah. I’m a first year college graduate. I’m currently an infant teacher and I have been one for a year and a half now. Taking care of children is something that I’ve love doing since I was a kid myself. I’ve been an aunt since the age of 6 so just imagine a 6 year old changing and feeding a baby. That brought my love for children out right there. Being able to watch a child grow is something that’s always been amazing to me. They grow into their own person with all these different personalities it’s wonderful. I hope you can give me a shot at being your nanny. Trust me you won’t regret it. We’ll have an amazing time. Can’t wait to work with you!
