A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Laura supinger! I'm an incoming high school senior with an interest in pursuing youth and children's ministry. I have lots of experience working with children through babysitting, working part time doing after school care for elementary school children, volunteering at church with kids on mission trips and volunteering to help run vacation bible school, and I completed a three month long internship last year as a student teacher in a second grade classroom. I have a very mild form of autism and lots of experience working with special needs and neurodivergent children. My parents are a youth and children's pastor and a pediatrician, so as you can imagine i've been learning and observing the ins and outs of childcare from a young age. I love cats, theatre, baking, writing, music, and anything creative! Can't wait to meet you!

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Isabelle! I'm an art student based in Chicago. I began babysitting from a young age and have worked with children education since. My most recent childcare adjacent job aside from overnight babysitting was as a swim coach for an age range of 4 months to 12 years old. I'm studying animation to go into children's TV and better the content being shown toward children. Education, reading, and art are all very important to me and I incorporate these values when I spend time and create activities for the children!

A little bit about me
Hellooo !! my name is Zaireale but I go by mayo when working with children because it’s usually easier and fun for them to remember. A little bit about me:
I’m 18, and I enjoy anything nature related. I’ve been told that I have a very old soul , preferring a more holistic approach to life. That given , I usually prioritize my time writing poetry, reading a nice mystery novel, painting , climbing trees/hiking or camping, catching up with school and keeping things artistic. I do have previous experience working with children. I worked at a daycare as an assistant for a 1.5 year(s). I’m pretty sociable when it comes to children and one of the daycares favorite core memories with me would be me reading a singalong book to a 1 year old during lunch time. I’m looking to help out with a family who needs the extra pair of hands. I’ve never met a child who doesn’t love me so I’m sure yours will too ! ☺️
