Hii! My name is Tatyana and I enjoy being around child and strive to be a pediatrician. I enjoy baking, dancing, and learning new things every day! I have cared previously my younger brother who is 16 months now and younger cousins when I was a teenager.

Hi! My name is Jordanne and I have recently relocated to Jacksonville, Florida to pursue my graduate degree. For the past 9 years, I have worked both in the classroom as a special education teacher and in various settings as a behavioral therapist for children with autism. Over the years, I also babysat part-time in the community and at church. As I settle into my studies, I aim to pivot from my education positions to a role that allows me to balance school as well as my home life with an ill parent. I am bilingual (Spanish-speaking), and I look forward to connecting with families in the Duval/Mandarin area.
