"I supervised Niyah at a center through Clipboard, and she was an incredible asset to our team. She has a natural gift with children and always brought a positive attitude to work. She managed routines, transitions, and even challenging moments with professionalism and warmth. Her communication with parents was always respectful and reassuring. I highly recommend her for any childcare position."

A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Marvelous, and I absolutely love working with children! I’ve been fortunate to gain experience with kids of all ages, from little ones just starting school to pre-teens full of curiosity and energy. I’m passionate about creating fun, safe, and supportive environments where kids can thrive, learn, and feel. During my time at Right At School in Chicago, I had the opportunity to lead engaging activities, help with homework, and build meaningful connections with the children I worked with.
I’m known for my warm and approachable personality, and I take pride in being someone children feel comfortable with. At the same time, I’m organized and dependable, always making sure every child feels included and cared for.
For me, working with children isn’t just a job—it’s something I truly enjoy and feel passionate about. I’m excited to bring my energy, creativity, and love for kids to any role where I can make a positive impact!

"I hired Sean to be my assistant my home based -preschool. He worked during the summer months while he was home for college. The children and I really loved having him here with us. He works diligently.. He was always here on time every day. He would get so many things done during the time he was here. He would cook the meals for us clean up the kitchen. Take the children outside to play. Sean ran to the store for me. He would help set up our learning activities he would decorate for any celebrations that we had, He was so patient with them. I was able to give him a task and he would get it done before it was even expected. Would make sure that everything was safe and structured well for the kids Sean always listen to what I need from him and he was able to deliver it, I have not been able to find anyone that works so well with the children and everything that came along with taking care of them as he did. Sean is a wonderful uncle to his nieces. He is really a blessing and missed."
