Hello, How are you doing? My name is Eliana, I am 22 years old, with years of experience working with kids. I am artistic, creative, and patient, both in my personal and professional life. I have a big heart for kids no matter their family situation or their emotional and or mental disposition. One of my biggest values is creating a safe place for kids to learn and flourish healthy. I try and have a wholistic approach when working with kids. For example, if a kid throws an object, instead of punishing them I would first observe the situation, seeing where the kid's emotion is. Looking for body queues (clenched fist, frown, tears, etc.). Next, I will say what the boundary is, do some calming exercises (deep breaths), and then ask some questions to understand the why. Kids generally have low emotional tolerance and need to be taught how to cope and problem solve in healthy ways. I also try and encourage curiosity of the the world around them, especially nature.

Hi, my name is Tosha. I have 20+ years of experience with all ages of children. I’ve worked in professional daycares and in home daycares. I’ve watched children at my home and have gone to their homes as well. My most recent experience was caring for 8 children from the ages 6-16. I’ve been with them for a little over 4 years now. For a little over two years I also homeschooled five out of 8 the kids. I do not drive but I do know the citylink bus routes well and ride my bike when possible unless something is in walking distance for me.

I am a nurturing and fun child care provider that believes that children thrive in an environment which they feel is safe to explore and accepted unconditionally for their uniqueness. I have always loved caring for children. I started at 12, provided babysitting services for family, friends, and my teachers until leaving for college. I have earned an elementary education degree and am continually taking additional training as required by DCFS to maintain my license to operate my in-home daycare. I have raised 3 children of my own and been a part of many other children’s lives in the nearly 27 years of running my own in home childcare. Before that I was an infant room teacher and assistant director at a daycare facility. I enjoy many types of music, poetry, quilts and hosting gatherings at my home for my family.
