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.

A little bit about me
Hi I’m Sadie! I’m an 18-year-old honors student who loves working with kids and creating a safe, positive environment for them to grow and have fun. I have several years of babysitting experience and worked at a day camp last summer, where I looked after large groups of children.
I’m very active and love sports, dance, and being outdoors, so I’m always up for keeping kids moving and entertained in creative ways. Whether it's helping with homework, planning fun activities, or just being a reliable extra set of hands, I bring a responsible, caring, and upbeat attitude to every job.
I also have a driver’s license and a clean driving record, so transportation is no problem. I’d love to connect and learn more about how I can support your family!

A little bit about me
My name is Caroline Rice. With years of experience working as both a nanny and a classroom assistant, coupled with the practical experience I gained growing up in a large family, I am confident in my ability to provide a nurturing, supportive, and safe environment for your children.
Growing up in a household with 4 siblings, has given me a deep understanding of the dynamics of a busy family and the importance of balance, patience, and structure. I’ve always loved supporting my siblings, whether it was helping with homework, preparing meals, or managing daily routines. This foundation laid the groundwork for my professional journey as a nanny and classroom assistant.
In addition to my family experience, I have spent several years working in both classroom settings and in private homes. My time in the classroom has equipped me with valuable skills in creating structured activities, managing multiple children at once, and adapting to each child's unique needs and learning styles.
