A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Rachael, I’m 21 years old, and I’m someone who has always loved being around children. Growing up with six siblings has given me lots of experience being around kids of different ages and has taught me the importance of being patient, caring, and dependable. I especially love babies and enjoy getting to watch little ones learn, grow, and discover new things. When I’m caring for kids, I love making our time together fun and engaging. Some of my favorite things to do are going to the park, doing arts and crafts, playing games, and finding little ways to make their day special. I’m a warm, responsible, and attentive person, and I want every child I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and happy around me. I’d love the opportunity to become someone your family can trust and rely on! 💗

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Olivia and I am a 19 year-old student at Kent State University home for the summer! I lived in South Elgin for 18 years, went to school in St. Charles, and recently moved to Elgin- So I know the area pretty well! I love and have worked with kids for about five years now. Especially during the summer I enjoy being outdoors, but I also grew up loving crafts and baking. I recently (As of the beginning of April) had the Covid-19 virus. I have not been contagious for a week and will have the strongest antibodies to the virus for the next three months, at which time I plan to get the vaccine. I am comfortable and willing to wear a mask if it is to a family's preference!
