Hi! I’m Abi, I’m 20 years old, currently going to college for childhood education, and have experience working at Paper Moon daycare. I’ve worked with children of many age groups, but I've mainly looked after infants, but I adore kids of all ages.

Hi! My name is Caitlyn and I just graduated Nursing school at Mizzou in the Accelerated program and have moved back to Chicago! I have worked and volunteered my entire life both with older children and younger ones as well. I used to volunteer at the library helping out with the Summer Reading Challenge in Chicago at one of the libraries and absolutely loved being able to help children learn how to talk about their books and give them advice on new books to read. I also volunteered at two organizations for a refugee children in Columbia taking care of children and helping them learn to read, play with them and help them do their homework while their parents learned English. I also worked at a Daycare for children ages 0-4 at a church in Columbia as well. I am fully vaccinated (and boosted) and very excited to hopefully hear from you soon!

Hello! My name is Leela Ravipudi and I am a 20 year old college student with over six years of childcare experience. I started babysitting when I was 14 and I have always had a natural connection with kids. I love working with children of all ages and helping them learn, grow, and express themselves. I enjoy keeping kids creative and engaged. I love doing arts and crafts, encouraging imagination, and helping children explore their interests. I also like taking kids outside to play, walk, or spend time in nature where they can use their imagination freely. I understand that parents work hard and it is important to come home to a comfortable and clean house. I always make sure to tidy up before parents return. I wash the dishes, clean up after cooking, and make sure the space looks nice. I am a very good cook and I enjoy preparing meals and snacks that kids love. I also try to limit screen time and fill the day with fun and meaningful activities. A little more about me. I will be attending Metropolitan Community College in January where I am pursuing a degree in Environmental Science. Outside of school and childcare I love staying active. I enjoy backpacking, hiking, traveling, and spending time outdoors. I often go on road trips and back country adventures and I love bringing that sense of curiosity and energy into the way I work with kids. I am reliable, patient, creative, and passionate about providing a safe, fun, and positive environment for children. I would love the opportunity to support your family.
