A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Bailey, and I'm a 26-year-old experienced grade school teacher with four years of teaching experience. My Master’s degree in teaching and classroom experience means that I have unique insight into developmental milestones and classroom readiness tools, as well as my CPR certification and exceptional preparedness in case of an emergency. Right after high school I worked as a CNA, so I have a minor background in healthcare as well.
In addition to my work in the classroom, I have a passion for caring for children of all ages, including toddlers as young as 1.5 years old, which I have mainly cared for in the summers between school years. In addition to looking after children, I'm also open to assisting with cleaning duties and meal prep, and I'm a great cook with excellent multitasking skills! I would love to bring my nurturing, educational approach to childcare while ensuring a safe, fun, and learning-filled environment for your little one!

Hi I’m Brooklyn! I am 20 years old from Salt Lake City Utah but moved to Illinois looking for a change. I currently work at the Boys and Girls Club with students in 2nd and 3rd grade after school. Getting to know each individual child and all their colorful personalities and bright minds has made a difference in my life. I grew up in a big family always helping family with babysitting just overall support. and Besides my work I love practicing my hobbies. Music is a big passion of mine I play the electric bass and I also practiced classical music for 5 years. I enjoy being outdoors as often as possible, Hiking is a favorite activity of mine outdoors. I love spending time with animals and my close friends. I love a good adventure and love to laugh. Overall I’m looking for a new experience and change in what I do for work. I want to work towards saving for college in order to earn my Doctorate Degree. I have big dreams for my future and can’t wait. Thank you!
