Hello.  I have been in the childcare field for over 28 years specializing in providing the best care for your child/children while parents are working and/or attending school.  I provide "hands-on" and nuture as I feel this is very important.  I have specialized training in the fields of asthma, special needs, child abuse, sexual abuse, cpr/first aid certification as well as Child Development.  I work with children who have speech impairments, learning disabilities as well as teaching pre-school for chidren getting ready for kindergarden. I provide transportation to schools - District 3 (Beach Park Schools) and District 6 (Zion Schools) if needed.  I provide back-up care, sick care as well as vacation/summer care.  Nothing is more rewarding then having one of your daycare children comeup to you at the end of the day and say "I love you Miss Jan - your the best" with a hug/kiss.  It makes my job so rewarding.  I have had children from newborn to middle school who often bring up things that had happened (potty training, that special birthday party, stickers for good deeds) which often makes me feel that all my work has made this child excel in life and its a wonderful feeling.

Hi! My name is Danni Alvarez, I am 29 years old and I have been worked with children for the last 10 years. With over ten years of experience nurturing, guiding, and educating children—as a nanny, day camp counselor, and most recently a lead teacher at Champions—I’ve developed a deep passion for creating warm, engaging, and supportive environments where children thrive. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with kids of various ages and backgrounds. Whether leading a classroom, planning enriching activities, or supporting a child one-on-one, I strive to foster curiosity, confidence, and kindness. I also speak Spanish fluently and have had experience teaching that to babies and toddlers! My time at Champions especially strengthened my skills in classroom management, curriculum planning, and collaborative teamwork with fellow educators and families. What I love most about working with children is seeing the world through their eyes—the joy in small discoveries, the power of encouragement, and the importance of consistency and care. I bring patience, creativity, and genuine enthusiasm to every role, and I’m excited about the possibility of contributing to your family! Thank you for considering my application.
