Hi future families! My childcare journey started in 2014 when I taught dance to kids ages 3-14. In 2017, I cared for my newborn niece, and that experience made me realize how much I enjoy supporting children as they grow, learn, and hit new milestones. I have 7+ years of experience with children from newborns to preschoolers. I bring warmth, patience, and creativity to every day, whether we're learning something new, exploring outside, or building routines that help little ones feel safe and confident. My skills include sign language, cognitive development, newborn care, food introduction, sleep training, and light housekeeping. I'm CPR certified, vaccinated, a nonsmoker, pet-friendly, and comfortable with work-from-home parents. I also have a clean driver's license and great references. I'd love to bring joy, support, and reliable care to your family!
We're reviewing Caio after a year of incredible care for our son. We will miss Caio deeply - as will our son and two cats - but the time has come to move closer to family in California, which means great luck for a new Chicago family. Caio is an experienced, unflappable, loving caretaker, with incredible work ethic and organization to boot. He's been the perfect companion/caretaker for our now 2yo son, and a proactive and trusted advisor for us as parents. We trust him completely with our son's safety, and more than that, with his nurturing and development as a person. -We hired Caio full time when our son was about 11mo, after an unsuccessful attempt at daycare, during a time when our son was still struggling to find a steady state after being born almost 2 months early. Caio hit the ground running and to this day our son's most important trainer and coach for all his early intervention therapies and exercises, from speech, to eating, to physical therapy. -Caio got our son on a predictable schedule right away and has taught him baby sign language as well as a little Spanish. He takes him on playdates, to local parks, and to activities around our neighborhood. -He has always been punctual and organized, and incredibly reliable regardless of his school schedule (which is regular a few nights a week). -Our son is very expressive and feeling, and Caio's calm, patient approach has made a huge difference for him learning to regulate his emotions. -Caio speaks up with suggestions when he needs to, without making us ever feel judged or incorrect in our parenting. Caio is an absolute gem and one of the best people you'll ever bring into the life of your young one.
