I have professional experience working with children ages 5 and younger in a childcare and early learning setting. My role involved planning and implementing developmentally appropriate activities that promoted social, emotional, and cognitive growth. I supported children in developing independence, cooperation, and problem-solving skills through structured play, hands-on learning, and daily routines.In addition to my professional experience, I am a mother of two young daughters, ages 1 and 3. This has enhanced my understanding of early childhood development and strengthened my ability to provide nurturing, patient, and consistent care. Balancing both roles has allowed me to refine my communication, time management, and behavior guidance skillsβ€”qualities that contribute to my effectiveness in supporting children and families within a childcare environment. I am a dedicated and compassionate early childhood educator with a strong passion for helping children learn, grow, and reach their full potential. I have experience working with children ages 5 and older, as well as hands-on experience caring for my two young daughters, ages 1 and 3. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of child development, patience, and the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.

Hello, I’m Jerome but you can call me Jay to keep it simple. I’ve been working with children all my life as I see them as leaders of the future. I’ve 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 I’m not working or studying, I prefer to spend time with my 18 month year old American Tri-Color pitbull dog name Prince.

I have several years of experience caring for children through babysitting, volunteering, and mentoring. I have helped care for my younger brother, who is autistic, which has taught me patience, adaptability, and how to meet each child’s individual needs. I’ve also volunteered with children through my church and community programs, served as a summer camp counselor for three summers, and mentored younger students as a Speech & Debate team captain. As a pre-med student, I value creating a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I am responsible, dependable, and enjoy building positive relationships with both children and parents.
