Hi! Iβm a current nursing student with hands-on experience caring for children in a daycare setting, as well as working with children with autism. Iβm patient, caring, responsible, and comfortable creating a safe and fun environment for children of different ages and needs. My experience has taught me how to be attentive to each childβs individual personality, routines, and needs. As a nursing student, Iβm also developing strong skills in safety, communication, and providing compassionate care. I truly enjoy working with children and would love the opportunity to provide your family with reliable and caring childcare!

Hello, Iβm Jerome but you can call me Jay to keep it simple. Iβve been working with children all my life as I see them as leaders of the future. Iβve been mentoring youth within the Southside of Chicago the past three years and recently obtained my substitute license to teach over the past nine months.Some fun facts about me: I do enjoy art spaces (museums, live music, and murals) and nature such as state parks and walks by lake shore drive. When Iβm not working or studying, I prefer to spend time with my 18 month year old American Tri-Color pitbull dog name Prince.
