Denize
Hello! My name is Denize and I’ve worked with children for about 2 and a half years at Wonder Works Children’s Museum in Oak Park. In those 2 years I’ve played with children, helping them develop their motor and interaction skills, and created a safe space to use their imagination and creativity! I’ve also volunteered at my church in the daycare section!

Hayden
Hey! I'm Hayden, and I have a ton of experience working with and caring for kids. I've worked as a swim instructor teaching children ages 5 and up, so I'm very comfortable keeping kids engaged, safe, and having a great time. Beyond the pool, I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, whether that's helping with activities, being a responsible and attentive caregiver, or just being a fun and positive presence. I'm patient, energetic, and parents can feel confident knowing their little ones are in good hands!

Kamerion
Hello! My name is Kamerion, preferably Kam, and I have babysat for parents that have twin 3 month olds to 9 years old! I always try and do activities that would entertain a child without the use of an ipad or tablet since I know screen time is a very important thing!

I have over ten years of hands-on childcare experience caring for children from newborns to age ten, primarily within my family, which is a valued part of my culture. My responsibilities included feeding, bathing, putting children to sleep, reading to them, and engaging them in age-appropriate play and learning activities. I hold a certificate in Early Childhood Education, which has strengthened my understanding of child development and safety. I genuinely enjoy working with children and take pride in creating a warm, nurturing, and structured environment where they feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow emotionally, socially, and academically.
