A little bit about me

Hi! I love working with kids and creating a fun and learning environment for kids! I spent four years as a nanny for two different families. The children were ages 1-10 during the years that I worked with them. I have also worked at a daycare for two years, with infants through school-age children, and I have experience working with kids with lots of different types of needs:)

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Sonia I am 20 years old and currently in college for medical assisting, so I am doing online school from 8am-12pm. I am first aid and cpr certified. I graduated high school from PIUS XI Catholic High School in 2020. I enjoy playing volleyball, I’ve been playing since I was 12 years old. I also love any kind of art activity. I am constantly looking to learn new things so I do often pick up on new hobbies. For example, I taught myself how to do acrylic nails, I learned how to play chess, I listen to podcasts and read books whenever I can! I also would like to add that I really enjoy working with kids simply because of how creative and open minded they are at such a young age and overall how important their development is throughout this stage of life. I do have my own car so I can pick up from school or if they have any after school activities I can do that too! Hope to hear from you, thank you!

A little bit about me

Hi - my name is Kiara and I am currently a sophomore at Chamberlain University - college of Nursing. I am a certified nursing assistant and also have a certification in MA and EKG. I am also CPR certified. I’ve worked for multiple nursing homes and NorthShore University HealthSystem in Evanston, IL. In addition, I’ve been working with children since I was 14, I started by watching my siblings when they were younger and then progressed into watching children in my neighborhood. I’ve worked with children of all ages. Over the past few years, I’ve primarily worked with infants and toddlers, thought I am comfortable with children of any age. I like to do puzzles and play board games with children, as it keeps them interested. I also enjoy taking children on walks when it’s nice outside, so they are able to get some type of physical activity in. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, reading, and drawing.
