A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Sheyla, and I am thrilled to introduce myself. I come from Peru and am a loving mother to a 6-year-old girl. My heart has always been drawn to caring for children, which led me to earn a bachelor's degree in special education and a degree in speech therapy. Over the past 8 years, I have joyfully dedicated myself to teaching and nurturing children in Peru, including taking special courses to support those with ADHD. My experience also includes working in a nursing home, where I learned the importance of patience and kindness. I would love to bring my gentle, caring nature and expertise to your family as a nanny, creating a warm and loving environment for your little ones.

A little bit about me

Hi there! I'm Emcat, I'm 27 and I moved to Chicago four years ago. I pride myself on being very crafty, reliable in an emergency, a good cook, an even better baker, and someone who tries to keep in touch with their inner child. I've always been passionate about working with kids and making them feel seen in a world that often overlooks their value. Looking back at my own childhood, I wish I had more adults in my life that understood that, despite my age, I still deserved a seat at the table. Now whenever I work with kids I commit myself to never allowing them to feel unseen or unheard. I'm a big believer in instilling creativity, emotional intelligence, and critical thinking in young minds. My ultimate goal in working with kids is to create a kind, compassionate environment for them to flourish in!

My name is Kiara, but I also go by Kiwi! I’m 22 years old originally from Nebraska, but have been living in Chicago for a year. I received my Bachelors degree in Human Development and Family Science as of May 2022.

In addition to my degree, I have aquired about 4-5 years of child care experience working both in high quality care centers and homes. My specialty is with infants and toddlers, but I adore children of all ages and am well equipped to navigate a variety of developmental stages and ages given my education and abundance of hands-on expericence from different communities.

I also have extensive training in the following areas: active supervision, positive interactions, CPR/First Aid, evidence based curriculum building/facilitation, and the like.

I have great experience working with children and providing exceptional care regardless of setting or available resources! I look forward to connecting with families here and providing any support that I can.
