A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Ixchel! Pronounced like seashell, without the s— (eashell). I’m a 21- year old college student in pursuit of a career as a speech pathologist assistant!
Im fluent in both English and Spanish and very proud of my Mexican heritage. Im also a big fan of pets— especially cats. My family has six of their own!
I most enjoy doing activities that allow for creation such as cooking, baking, drawing, etc. As for physical activities I love anything that gets my body moving and is fun! I mostly like to dance and go for walks but will partake in a friendly match of soccer here and there.
I believe it’s important to foster the abilities, talents and skills each child has whilst also preparing them to navigate the world one day on their own. I also believe greatly in respecting the culture and customs that each family uniquely has.

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Grace, a Chicago-based graduate student, artist, and experienced nanny. I've been nannying and babysitting for over 8 years, working with children of all ages, from toddlers to teens. I recently graduated from New York University with a BFA in Photography and will begin my MFA in Photography and Ceramics at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago this fall.

In addition to nannying, I've worked as an art teacher at Bryn Mawr Summer Camp and have taught private art and ceramics lessons. I love helping kids explore their creativity, build confidence, and stay engaged through hands-on activities, outdoor time, and imaginative play.

Families describe me as dependable, patient, organized, and easygoing. Whether it's homework help, school pick-ups, meal prep, or planning fun activities, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and positive environment for every child. I have excellent references and reliable transportation.
