A little bit about me

Hello! My name is DijZhane’ (pronounced Dee-JAH-nae) or Dee for short! I am a 27 year old, full-time talent acquisition professional, student at DePaul University, and dedicated church member. I have one dog, her name is Lola and she’s a 3 year old mini-goldendoodle. I am the oldest girl but second oldest child, of eight children and spent many, many years caring for all my younger siblings. Now, I just spend my time volunteering at my church for various programs and helping out with different ministries as needed. While I do not have any paid experience working with children, I am very knowledgeable on working with infants, toddlers, and young children. I’m currently seeking opportunities to help a family in need of extra hands and a friendly presence around their children and earn additional income to continue to support myself through school. I’m more than happy to answer any questions that may arise!
