Hi! My name is Adrianna, and Iβm a theatre student with extensive experience working with children in both academic and creative environments. I spent my summer directing and coaching students at a theatre camp, helping them develop confidence, collaboration, and communication. My work in that setting has prepared me well for roles as both a nanny and substitute teacher. I enjoy engaging with kids, whether Iβm helping with homework, reinforcing classroom routines, reading together, or encouraging imagination and emotional expression. Iβm responsible, punctual, and highly reliable, and families can expect clear communication and a calm, caring presence. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable assisting with schedules, schoolwork, and structured learning time, making me a strong fit for families looking for academic support or someone capable of stepping into substitute teaching roles. As someone studying theatre and communication, I bring patience, empathy, and creativity to every interaction. I love helping students feel seen, supported, and confident in who they are. I look forward to supporting your family and making your childβs day safe, fun, and enriching!

Hello! And thank you for taking the time to find out o a little bit about me! I have always enjoyed working with children. I obtained my degree in Early Childhood Education. I have worked in several Early Childhood Centers, in Rockford and in Huntley. At each center, I taught 3-5-year-olds. I co-taught at a Middle School in a life skills class and have experience working with children with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome and children who are nonverbal. I currently work as a Student Support Interventionist at a Middle School. Working with children has always been a passion of mine and I would love to become an addition to your families! I also really love all animals. I have 3 dogs, 3 cats and a dwarf hamster. In my spare time I love reading, going for walks with my dogs, cooking, painting and yoga!
