A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a polished, dependable nanny and family assistant with a strong background in childcare, including my experience as a nanny during undergrad and being an aunt to seven children. I’m currently enrolled at National Louis University, and I bring a high level of organization, discretion, and attentiveness into every home I work in.

I’m comfortable managing both childcare and light household support—keeping routines running smoothly, assisting with schedules, and creating a calm, structured environment where children feel safe, engaged, and supported. I naturally connect with kids of all ages and pride myself on being patient, nurturing, and proactive. Families can rely on me to bring a warm presence while also maintaining professionalism and consistency in day-to-day care.

A little bit about me

My name is Janiya Morris, and I’m 16 years old. I’m a dedicated and friendly person who enjoys helping others and staying active, especially during the summer. I have volunteer experience working with children at the Chicago Park District, where I helped organize activities, supervised groups, and made sure everyone had fun in a safe environment. That experience helped me become more responsible, patient, and team-oriented. I’m known for being dependable, easy to work with, and always willing to step up when something needs to get done. I’m excited to keep building my skills and making a positive impact wherever I work.
