Hey! My name is Ilknur, I know it’s a little different. I grew up in St.Louis and I went to SIU for English. My first job was at a daycare in St.Louis. I worked with newborns, toddlers and school age children. I was responsible for changing diapers, bottle feeding and making sure the newborns had their naps. In addition, I was also a Lead Teacher at Malone's Daycare in Carterville, IL for the 2 year old classroom. This role required lesson planning, being creative and was fast paced. I’m punctual, organized and very patient. I’m always on time and I don’t like being late. Most importantly I’m reliable and I take accountability for my actions like any adult should.
