Skylar
Hello, my name is Skylar! I am a college student with a 4.0 GPA, and a lifetimes worth of experience in childcare experience and multiple certifications. I have experience with children of all ages, infant to school age! I've worked in babysitting, daycare, summer camp, church, school and recreational environments, including care for children in groups of 1-30 at a time. I enjoy fun activities such as coloring, dancing, art & crafts, puzzles, trying new recipes, all while prioritizing safety. I look forward to meeting you!

Leila
Hello! I am so excited to meet with you and provide you with ease by looking after your kiddos. I have babysat for neighbors whose kids were between 4 and 12, volunteered with kids at the library to teach children how to garden and read, and I currently work in early literacy tutoring. I have plenty of board games, crafts, and puzzles and I love to cook. I’m also great with pets and am happy to feed, play with, and walk any pets that may need care as well.

Danae
Hello, I'm friendly and alert. I've prepared healthy, age-appropriate snacks and meals. Helped children organize toys, wash hands and share by leading by example. Sanitized dishes, tabletops, and toys and monitored children's play activities to verify safety.

Taiba

Vanessa
Hi, I’m Vanessa! Childcare is my passion, and I love helping kids learn and grow. I’m currently studying Early Childhood Education at Moraine Valley and hold a Level 1 ECE Credential, which I earned through hands‑on experience as an ECE intern at Reavis High School working directly in a Pre‑K classroom for 2 years. I have great hands-on classroom experience, and I’m still learning new creative ideas every day through my college classes. I’ll always make sure our days are safe, structured, and fun. A few quick facts about me: I’m fully bilingual (English/Spanish), a safe driver with my own car, and very organized with daily routines.

Dalilah
Hi! My name is Dalilah, and I am a 21-year-old assistant preschool teacher with over 10 years of experience caring for and working with children. Helping little ones learn, grow, and discover the world around them is something I truly love. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and encouraged to be themselves, and I strive to create a classroom where they can build confidence, make friends, and have fun while learning. I enjoy creating engaging, hands-on activities that inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning. Building trusting relationships with children and their families is one of the most rewarding parts of my job, and I am committed to providing a nurturing, supportive environment where every child can thrive. It is a privilege to be part of each child's early learning journey, and I look forward to making a positive difference in their lives every day.

Hayden
Hi! My name is Hayden Wilson, I am 25 years old and currently living in Edgewater. I moved to Chicago from St. Louis about 2 years ago. Since my move, I have worked for a nanny company. I worked with children from 6 months to 12 years, ranging from in-home care to events with up to 40 children! I love planning crafts and activities, and most of all seeing what children can make when given different materials and creative tools. While living in St. Louis I worked at The Little Gym as a children’s gymnastics instructor (ages 3-8) and at Kindercare as an assistant teacher (ages 2-5). I love reading, singing, and exploring the world with the kids in my care, and getting out into nature when we can!
