A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Monserrat and I am 20 years old. For the past three years I’ve work with this lovely family of three kids ( all under the age of eight). I started by babysitting once or twice a week and over the time I started to do more days. As of right now I’m a junior in College but unfortunately I’m taking break due to financial difficulties. I am more than happy to do any home chores.

A little bit about me

I’m one of five kids raised by my mom and aunt who also started and run a Montessori charter elementary school. I come from a big Irish family and grew up in a village right on Lake Michigan where I had an ideal childhood riding bikes, exploring with my cousins and having bonfires. I graduated college last year and have been teaching art and Spanish part time at the Montessori school. I’m a great cook, imaginative and engaging with kids, and I am experienced in meeting the needs of varying family dynamics.

A little bit about me

Hi my name Ash! I have been working in childcare for 6 years. I have been a youth mentor and teaching artist for 3, so I have worked with every age group there is! I am finishing up getting my degree from The School of The Art Institute where I've been studying Art Education and Art Therapy. I have volunteered in elementary and middle schools as a teaching artist and have taught summer classes through After School Matters. I am great with toddlers and infants and build relationships with kids by creating a safe and fun space using artistic methods! I have created many kid friendly activities that include learning to use different materials and be resourceful to keep activities unique! I've done everything from stencil making for custom spray painted t-shirt art to diy jewelry making with bakeable clay! So know if you're worried about your kids not being engaged I promise we can always find something to do! I can provide housekeeping and meal prep that also includes getting creative!
