Hello, I'm Ms. Virginia, but to my little ones, I'm Ms. Gina.

I am the owner and primary childcare provider at 2nd Connection Family Child Care, an in-home childcare program located in Villa Park, IL. I currently have full-time and part-time space available. I charge $85 per child daily, which covers a 10-hour day, daily activities, two meals, and a snack.

My program offer:
Homemade baby food
Two home-cooked meals and a snack
Daily reports
Developmental tracking and screenings
Parent-teacher conferences
An infant/toddler and preschool learning environment
A Reggio Emilia-inspired play-based curriculum
Field trip experiences
Kindergartens readiness
and much, much more.

I have worked as a childcare professional for 21+ years, I hold a B.A. in Early Childhood Education and an M.A. in Early Childhood Administration with an Infant/toddler and Early Childhood credential. I am CPR and First Aid certified, a non-smoker, fully vaccinated, and licensed by the state (DCFS).

Here is a little more about my experience...
I have been an Infant and toddler teacher and specialist, lead preschool teacher, School-age after-school teacher, an early childhood program coordinator, a Home Based Educator for Early Head Start, a Sunday school teacher, a sleep trainer, a nanny for families with children age ranging from 5 days to 10 years old. Currently, I am the director of Better Life Faith Church Children's Ministry and Early Childhood Coordinator for Planning Your Success Chicago.

I will be glad to provide references as well as schedule a time to chat over the phone about my program and your family's childcare needs.

I look forward to hearing from you and wish you the best of fortune with your search!
