A little bit about me
I’m one of five kids raised by my mom and aunt who also started and run a Montessori charter elementary school. I come from a big Irish family and grew up in a village right on Lake Michigan where I had an ideal childhood riding bikes, exploring with my cousins and having bonfires. I graduated college last year and have been teaching art and Spanish part time at the Montessori school. I’m a great cook, imaginative and engaging with kids, and I am experienced in meeting the needs of varying family dynamics.

A little bit about me
Hi my name Ash! I have been working in childcare for 6 years. I have been a youth mentor and teaching artist for 3, so I have worked with every age group there is! I am finishing up getting my degree from The School of The Art Institute where I've been studying Art Education and Art Therapy. I have volunteered in elementary and middle schools as a teaching artist and have taught summer classes through After School Matters. I am great with toddlers and infants and build relationships with kids by creating a safe and fun space using artistic methods! I have created many kid friendly activities that include learning to use different materials and be resourceful to keep activities unique! I've done everything from stencil making for custom spray painted t-shirt art to diy jewelry making with bakeable clay! So know if you're worried about your kids not being engaged I promise we can always find something to do! I can provide housekeeping and meal prep that also includes getting creative!

A little bit about me
I am 22 years old, I live in River North and am finishing college online. I have been helping take care of children for years. The same families for long periods of time, dropping off or picking up from school (probably not a need anymore), helping with homework, taking them to activities, amusing them and keeping them busy and overnight stays. I am smart, funny and kids seem to enjoy my company. That and I love Disney, Marvel, DC, Harry Potter and a myriad of books and shows that kids love too. I also love to cook.
