Hi!! I’m a student teacher on the North side of Chicago completing my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. I’m creative, adventurous, and love spending time outside. I have a background in Montessori and have worked with kids from 2 months to 12 years old. Before student teaching, I was a daycare assistant teacher for over three years, and I have over 10 years of paid babysitting experience. I’d love to talk more about how I can be a part of a “village” for you and your child!

Hi there! My name is Danielle, and I’m a passionate and experienced caregiver who truly loves working with children. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting kids in a wide range of settings—from private tutoring and substitute teaching to working as a behavior specialist with children with developmental challenges. I’ve also worked as an after-school program leader at various elementary schools and provided trusted childcare through Care.com. On top of my professional experience, I’ve spent countless hours caring for the little ones in my own family, which has only deepened my understanding of what it means to show up with patience, love, and consistency.My approach is rooted in kindness, empathy, and clear communication. Whether I’m helping with homework, playing games, guiding behavior, or simply being a calm presence, I treat every child with the highest level of care and respect. I believe that every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported—and it’s an honor for me to help create that environment.I'm eager for the opportunity to share my heart and experience with your family. Thank you for considering me to be a part of your child’s care and growth!
