A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Nicole and I’ve always had a natural connection with kids. I grew up with siblings, so I’ve been helping with little ones for as long as I can remember—and I’ve honestly come to love it.
People often tell me I’m great with kids because I’m patient, responsible, and know how to keep things fun while still keeping routines on track. Whether it’s playing, helping with homework, or just making sure your child feels safe and supported, I’m happy to help.
If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and experienced around children, I’d love to be a part of your family’s support system.

A little bit about me
Hi! I'm a grad student with over seven years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to school-age. I've worked as a nanny, babysitter, and mentor, and I truly enjoy creating a safe and supportive space where kids can learn, play, and feel seen.
I'm patient, dependable, and love keeping kids engaged through fun activities like storytime, crafts, learning games, and outdoor play. I'm also CPR and First Aid certified, comfortable with school pickups and carpooling, and happy to help with light tidying or meals related to the kids.
I believe communication is key, and I always keep parents informed in whatever way works best for you. Whether you need someone part-time or consistent support throughout the week, I'm excited to bring positive energy and care to your family.
Looking forward to connecting!

A little bit about me
Hi there! My name is Yailene, and I’ve always had a big heart for working with kids! Growing up with a toddler and a high schooler as siblings (talk about range!), I quickly became the go-to helper in my family — from diaper duty to high school homework. I’ve also cared for family friends’ children, from newborns to teens, and even kids with special needs, including epilepsy and ADHD.
I’m super organized, love to cook (especially kid-friendly meals!), and I bring a fun, energetic vibe while always staying alert and responsible. Whether it’s playtime, story time, or navigating a tricky moment, I’m all in and ready to support every step of the way!

A little bit about me
My name is Jarely and I’m a 21-year-old student at the University of Illinois at Chicago, pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Learning (expected Dec. 2025), with plans to earn a Master’s in Applied Behavior Analysis. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and have intermediate proficiency in American Sign Language. I was born and raised in Chicago and am proud of my Mexican roots. I have a strong interest in the emotional and social development of children. I’ve volunteered for over five years at my local elementary school, primarily supporting Pre-K and Kindergarten students. I also hold a paraprofessional license in Illinois and have completed over 60 credit hours in child development-related courses. These experiences have fueled my passion for working with young children and supporting their growth. Outside of academics, I enjoy long walks, cooking, and crafting activities that help me stay creative and grounded.
