A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Jalah, a recent graduate from Howard University with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, concentrating in Computer Information Systems. This fall, I’ll be starting my master’s in Human-Computer Interaction at DePaul University. I’m passionate about creating meaningful digital experiences through UI/UX design and using technology to drive positive change.
Outside of tech, I’m the founder of Hands Within the Hood, a nonprofit based on the South Side of Chicago focused on youth empowerment through book bag drives, toy donations, and community events.
As I begin grad school, I’m looking for a part-time position to help cover living expenses—and being a nanny feels like a perfect fit. I genuinely love working with kids. My parents had a baby boy two years ago, and I absolutely adore him! I’m nurturing, dependable, and would be happy to create a safe, fun, and loving environment for your child.

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Nicole and I’ve always had a natural connection with kids. I grew up with siblings, so I’ve been helping with little ones for as long as I can remember—and I’ve honestly come to love it.
People often tell me I’m great with kids because I’m patient, responsible, and know how to keep things fun while still keeping routines on track. Whether it’s playing, helping with homework, or just making sure your child feels safe and supported, I’m happy to help.
If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and experienced around children, I’d love to be a part of your family’s support system.

A little bit about me
I am a 27 year old dog-mom looking for a job in which I feel I can do something important. I have always wanted to work with kids but didn’t know where to start or if it was the right position for me.
I have done retail jobs, restaurants, event planning, office, and non profit work in the past. The one thing that I consistently felt in all of these positions was unfulfilled as the work wasn’t directly aligned with my personal values. Even at the non-profit job I was tasked with back of house duties such as budgeting for leadership and foster parent training events. I did not feel like my work made a difference.
I truly value knowledge, creativity, whimsy, individualism, the environment, and just making the world a better place for the kids we bring into it. While I am fully aware of how cheesy this all sounds, I still believe in this wholeheartedly.
I think that caring for young ones is the most fulfilling thing someone could do because at the end of the day, they are our future!

A little bit about me
I have been teaching, mainly preschoolers since 2005. I'm interested in babysitting over the summer, to put the money towards my daughter's private school tuition. I have two children of my own so I would love a position in which I can pick the children up, bring them back to my home, feed them, engage with them and drop them off at home when needed.
