A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Tashana, and I’m a 23-year-old full-time college student currently pursuing my Secondary English degree with the goal of becoming a teacher. Because my classes are fully online, I have open and flexible availability throughout the day, allowing me to be fully present and dependable for the families I support. I’ve been around children my entire life, starting with babysitting for family members and friends. I’m also a proud aunt to nine amazing kids, five girls and four boys, who truly mean the world to me. Spending time with them has helped shape my patience, creativity, and genuine love for childcare. Professionally, I have extensive experience working in educational and childcare environments, including daycare settings and schools. I’ve closely worked with infants, preschoolers, first graders, fifth graders, and high school students. This range has made me highly adaptable, attentive to developmental needs, and comfortable supporting children at every stage.

A little bit about me
Hello! I'm Ava, and I'm looking forward to relocating from St. Louis to Chicago on January 1st to support my partner at the University of Chicago.
I bring a unique and valuable blend of experience to childcare, which includes direct experience as a Family Nanny and cultural immersion as an Au Pair in Italy. My professional background in high-end hospitality further ensures I offer a service-first mindset, excelling in areas like proactive organization, logistical management, and maintaining impeccable safety standards.
My hands-on experience involved preparing meals, providing homework and tutoring assistance, and planning engaging excursions. I am highly skilled at establishing routines, communicating openly with parents, and managing household duties.
I am eager to transition my skills into a dedicated care role in Chicago.

A little bit about me
Hi guys!! My name is Scout, I have always loved and clicked with kids instantly. I love getting the opportunity to work with kids, especially since I’m the youngest sibling and never got any younger siblings like I wish I would’ve! I always put in an effort to truly get to know the kids and understand them, all of my friends that have younger siblings I have always managed to be their best buddies! Kids are just filled with so much joy and pureness and I value it so much. If you want and need someone you can trust with your kids and someone who cares about the relationship with your kids but also YOU parents, then let’s figure this out together! I love babysitting, anything outdoors like hiking, dirt biking, snowboarding, and camping! Grew up in a super outdoorsy family!
