I am a dedicated professional with a Master’s in Education and a deep passion for child development. My background in special education and behavior analysis allows me to adapt to the unique needs of every child, ensuring a calm and productive environment. I’m just as comfortable managing a busy afternoon of extracurriculars as I am leading a quiet rainy-day activity. I look forward to bringing my experience, reliability, and positive energy to your home!

I am passionate about creating a safe, fun, and empowering environment for children. My experience includes two years in professional childcare settings and one year working with elementary students in special education. This background provides a deep understanding of diverse learning needs. I am also trained in the Nurtured Heart Approach, a framework used to build a child's confidence and self-control. This means the focus is on a child's positive qualities and gives clear, consistent limits without energizing negative behavior. The goal is to help every child recognize their greatness. I would love to bring this positive energy to your family. I am moving back to Chicago after a couple of years back home, and am eagerly looking for work, so if you think I might be a good fit for your/your family’s needs, please feel welcome to reach out!

Hi families! My name is Mayra. I am 23 years old. I was born in Mexico and now I’m living here in Chicago (fluent in Spanish and English). I’m currently looking for a full-time or part-time job to continue paying for college. I am very close to my family. I don't have kids on my own, but I love taking care of them. I've been babysitting for my family since I was in high school. When I graduated high school, I got a full-time job as a nanny with a 3- and 5-year-old for almost two years until my mom no longer needed help.During the last six years, I've been working for families with babies more often. I am very patient, communicative, responsible, and loving.I enjoy spending time outdoors the most, but I also like building forts, painting, making crafts,and reading books! I'm comfortable caring for up to two children, ranging from infants to preteens.
