A little bit about me

Hello! I'm a proud mother of four wonderful boys, and caring for children has always been at the heart of who I am. From the early years through school age, I enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel loved in a safe, nurturing environment.
I have four years of childcare experience, one year of experience as a special-needs paraprofessional, and I currently hold both a paraprofessional license and a substitute teaching license. These experiences have helped me develop patience, creativity, and the ability to support children with a variety of needs and learning styles.

I'm looking for a family that would be comfortable with me bringing my sweet two-year-old along while I care for your children. I believe this can provide wonderful opportunities for socialization, learning, and friendship in a loving, family-centered environment. I look forward to finding a family where we can build a trusting and positive relationship together!

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Lien, im 20years old. Currently attending University of Illinois at Urbana Champion, but am at home due to covid-19. I have worked with kids since I was 15 and currently have a job working with special needs kids. I have 11 siblings so being around and taking care of kids has been a lifetime task. I will be majoring in psychology and criminal justice as it has been a dream of mine to work in the fbi. I would be a good nanny because I am neat, I I love working with kids, I cook and clean. And love to have a good time.
