A little bit about me
I am a young college student who resides in the Chicago area. I currently attend College and will be receiving my Associate’s Degree In Applied Science in Early Childhood Education next month. As far as my experience goes I have a lot of experience with children of all ages from 6 weeks to 13 years old. My favorite thing about being an early childhood educator is being able to make a difference in a child’s life and then seeing their progression once they have learned and contained information all by themselves ! I love arts n crafts, science projects and I also love doing yoga !

A little bit about me
Hello! Nice to meet you :) I’m Sabrina and I’m a childcare provider and professional contemporary dancer based in Chicago, IL! I’ve been working with children since 2018 and after graduating from New York University with a BFA in Dance and a minor in Business in 2024, I’ve worked as a nanny, dance educator and childcare provider around the Chicagoland area. In Chicago, I’ve worked for BASH Kids Club, an after care provider specializing in the arts, in addition to nannying and babysitting various children around the city. In New York, I acted as a nanny and personal assistant for a family in Brooklyn regularly on weekday mornings and would complete daily household tasks such as laundry, dishes and errands. I also worked for a variety of families on an as-needed basis in the NYC area. I pride myself on being responsible, punctual and friendly and often complete various household tasks such as laundry, meal preparation and dishes. I'm all about making your life as a parent easier!
