A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Hayley Heavey. I am 23 years old and newly moved to Lincoln Park. Working with children has always been a passion of mine. I have had multiple babysitting jobs, spent 2 months with an infant, have taught preschool swimming lessons for 5 years and spent 5 years working at an after school program for k-6th graders. I also have volunteered at multiple locations for children with special needs. I went to school for recreation management in hopes of one day opening my own daycare/preschool. Watching children learn and grow has always been a passion of mine. I had a nanny for 12 years when I was growing up and she made such a huge impact on my life that I want to make that impact on someone else's child's life. I grew up with younger brothers and many many cousins. (17 younger than me to be exact) to kids have always been a part of my life.

I am very positive and love to have fun, but I intend on keeping a regular schedule and an organized environment for the kids. I am an experienced tutor, so I will be ready to help with homework, and I have experience in house work, cooking, and pet care, all of which I would be happy to take on. Please send me a message if you think I would be a good fit for your family!

A little bit about me
I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I have experience working with children with special needs. I've worked with infants, toddlers, elementary ages, and preteen ages.
Fluent in English and I know some Spanish and Mandarin.
I worked as a Teacher in a preschool/after school program for a year in 2017, where I taught and nurtured 30 5-12 year olds from 2-6 Mon-Fri; and in toddler infant rooms as support from 7-2 Mon-Fri.
I graduated from a year of service with Americorps non-profit City Year in 2018. I worked in a 3rd grade classroom at a title one school where over 63 languages were spoken and 95% of children qualified for free/reduced lunch.
I have lots of experience tutoring with homework and counseling. I'm experienced with children who need specialized care and children who have been through trauma.
I'm artistic, creative, and I love to do projects outdoors with the kids. I'm good at listening to instruction and directions. I keep a clean house and can meal prep.
