Hello, I'm Lilian Renteria, I live in Lincoln Park, and I have been working with Jumpstart through DePaul University for three years. Jumpstart is a nationwide program that strives to prepare preschool children ages three to five enter kindergarten prepared to succeed. As a Corps member I was trained to have meaningful and powerful conversations and interactions while engaging the children in fun activities, I prepared beforehand from Jumpstart's structured curriculum, that develop early literacy skills. Some activities I engaged children with are dramatic play, creating story books, drawing, creating artwork, reading books, playing with puzzles, games, and other manipulatives, doing experiments, and singing songs. With Jumpstart, I also worked alongside preschool teachers, to implement their curriculum in the classroom, by supporting children's abilities and challenging them, while supporting the teacher's routine, rules, and transitions in the classroom. In addition, I was trained to implement positive strategies like problem solving Read more to challenge and support children's social and emotional skills. I am also a tutor and mentor through FrogTutoring. I strive to create lesson plans that are tailored to the student's needs, keep them ahead of their own classes, reinforce key concepts, and review past lessons. As a mentor I strive to create relationships with students and be a role model. Furthermore, some of my initial goals are to set up a system of organization, establish study skills and note taking strategies, and implement fun. Before Jumpstart and FrogTutoring, I have been a sitter for three years, accomplishing the needs of the various families I worked with by supporting their routines. Some of the needs were household chores, tutoring, diaper changing, bedtime, bathing, meal preparation, and engaging children through play. As a sitter I have worked with a wide range of children from ages three months to fifteen years. I am very energetic and passionate when it comes to working with the children and their families. When I look after children, I strive to organize and participate in activities that are fun, tailored for the children's appropriate age and development, and incorporate the child's interests both in and outdoors. My favorite children's books are "The Little Red Hen Makes a Pizza" by Philemon Sturges, and "The Ugly Vegetables" by Grace Lin. With children, I love to be silly in dramatic play, play outside, and draw pictures.

Lilian was terrific! From the moment she arrived at our place, she immediately began to connect with our daughter, who is almost 2 years old. The two quickly established a rapport and we felt very comfortable heading out for a little date night.

Lilian was amazing. Our first time with her and she was immediately at ease with the baby and vice versa. She did a great job putting our baby down and also settling our baby down after she woke up mid sleep.

Lilian was a wonderful sitter! She helped my 2nd grader with her homework, played Candyland with my 4 year old and kept my 9 month old happy until I returned. I had her watch my kids twice and they are already asking when she can come back!

I specifically hired Lillian to get Dash down for a nap while I had a doctor's appointment. He had some trouble separating, so I told her he could have five minutes to play. She was supposed to head up to his room with him at 12:45. She did not do so until 2:25. However, I texted to see if he was "sleeping" at 2:20 after seeing on our iPhone monitor that he was not in bed. She replied that he was lying down but not yet sleeping, which was a lie. Even if he was giving her a hard time about going to bed, she should have gotten him to his room (and not lied about it) before being more than 1.5 hours past naptime. I can get past most things, but being blatantly lied to is not one of them.

Lilian continues to take the utmost care of every living being in our home, from our dog, our plants before the kids wake up, and making fresh scrambled eggs for the kids. Safety always comes first for her. She is such a blessing to us all!

Lillian watched our 18 month old twins while we were out of town- we trust her that much! Walked our dog in the morning while a second person was still in the house, woke them up, fed them breakfast and meals and took care of the boys while they were sick. Only with a special person would we feel safe leaving town like this!

Lillian took care of our kids when they were both sick and we had to be away without easy access to her. She kept our kids safe and did a lot at home to ease our coming back. She is enthusiastic, reliable, professional, and wonderful!

Lilian is super reliable and very mellow. She can confidently handle difficult childcare situations (like a rocky bedtime), but is also willing to text and ask for advice if she needs to.
