A little bit about me

Hi! My name is MaKayla. I’m a professional early childhood educator and Site Director in a before/after school program, currently finishing my degree in Early Childhood Education. I have over two years of babysitting experience and hands-on experience caring for children ages 4–7 in structured school and family settings.

I genuinely love working with children and creating calm, engaging routines that help them feel safe, supported, and confident. My experience includes supervising children, preparing snacks, supporting learning through play, helping with homework and reading, and planning age-appropriate activities.

I’m CPR and First Aid certified, responsible, patient, reliable, and nurturing. I’m comfortable with school pickups and driving to activities, and I prioritize safety, clear communication, and trust with families. My goal is to be a dependable, calming presence in your child’s day.

Ydalis A. - Seeking Work in Orland Park

Full-Time Child Care Provider Available in Orland Park, IL: Ydalis A.

Nannying has become such a special part of my life, especially as a 17-year-old who has been babysitting for the past five years. Spending time with kids brings me so much joy because of their energy, creativity, and the way they see the world with such excitement and innocence. I love being someone they can laugh with, learn with, and feel safe around. Watching them grow, helping them learn new things, and being a positive role model is incredibly rewarding to me. Kids truly bring so much light into my life, and nannying has taught me patience, responsibility, and how meaningful it is to care for others.
