My experience has taught me how important it is to be attentive, adaptable, responsible, and understanding when caring for children. What skills and training do you have?

I truly love being around kids and have always felt very comfortable caring for them. Watching children grow, learn new things, and develop their own personalities is incredibly rewarding to me. I enjoy building real relationships with the kids I care for and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they feel understood and encouraged.

Hello! My name is Naima, and I’m a student at Loyola University Chicago working toward my Bachelor’s in International Business and Economics. I have hands-on experience with children, including coaching elementary and middle school students in youth sports and volunteering in China, where I taught students English. These experiences made me comfortable adapting to new environments and helped me make unfamiliar spaces feel safe and welcoming. For the past 3 years, I’ve also worked in the restaurant hospitality industry, where I’ve strengthened my conflict resolution, communication, and reliability, and learned to stay calm in hectic environments. I would love to be a helping hand for your family. Please let me know if you have any additional questions!
