About Yaritza

Hello, my name is Yaritza. I have approximately eight years of experience working with children from six weeks to 12 years of age. My passion for early childhood began in high school through a preschool program and three years of child development courses. I have experience babysitting for local families and worked as both an assistant and lead teacher in a daycare center for five years, planning age-appropriate activities and supporting children's social-emotional growth. I also hold a Substitute Teaching License and have experience in elementary school settings. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education with ESL and Bilingual endorsements. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, CPR and First Aid certified, and BC verified through the State of Illinois and my local school district. Families describe me as caring, patient, and reliable. I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where every child feels valued and supported.
