About Ilona

I have over 5 years of experience of working with kids professionally (20 years of experience in health care). I also have experience of working with children with special needs as a teaching assistant. Additionally, I am a mother of 14-year-old twins. I completed the international Montessori teaching program for the preschool/kindergarten age. I completed the following certifications in the state of Florida: early literacy for children age birth through three; health, safety and nutrition; and behavioral observation and screening. Additionally, I have received certifications through the Lastinger Center for Learning in the University of Florida (in 2023) in the following areas: safety in the environment; supporting the social-emotional development of infants and toddlers; preventing child abuse and supporting children in trauma; safe sleep practices; health and sanitation; child safety and prevention; and planning for emergencies. I am very excited to care for your child(ren).
