Butterfly Room

I live in Downs and love to spend time with my family and my two rescue pups. I have over 26 years of experience working with children, and I feel there is no better feeling then a huge hug from a child.  In my spare time, I am a photographer and I love to do crafts. I am a huge animal lover, but dogs take up the most room in my heart. I am super excited to be here and get to know the entire Little Jewels family.

I have worked with children all throughout high school. As an only child I have always loved kids and seeing them grow! In my spare time I enjoy hanging with friends and going on adventures. I’m so excited to work with the little ones and watch them grow!

Hi my name is Sylvia! I graduated from Illinois State University with a bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I hope that one day I become a speech-language pathologist and work with school-aged children. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, and painting. I have always loved working with children and am so excited to be part of the Little Jewels family!

Hi I’m Miss Shelby! I’m a senior at Illinois State University majoring in Human and Education services! I’ve absolutely loved being with kids of all ages and creating relationships with parents/children! I’m so happy to be apart of the Little Jewels family! 

I am currently a junior at Illinois State University studying communication sciences and disorders with a minor in psychology as well as children’s studies! I have been working at Little Jewels since fall of 2021, and absolutely adore working with the little ones! In my free time I like to spend time with friends, go to the gym, read, and get coffee.

Makayla is from Naperville, IL and is currently attending Illinois State University to study nursing! She has been working with kids her whole life and is so excited to work with all of the kids at little Jewels! In her spare time she likes to watch movies, exercise, and hangout with friends and family. She is so excited to work with kids again because she loves watching them grow!
