A little bit about me

I am a graduate from Loyola University Chicago with over 6 years of experience working with kids ages 4-11, along with over 2 years of experience working with kids ages 6 months to 4 years old. I have worked in a variety of childcare settings, from most recently in a 9 month long nannying position for two boys, 12 and 14, as well as a camp setting with on average 150-200 kids each week ages K-5th.
I am also a part-time master's student at Chicago Theological Seminary and have worked with children from all types of backgrounds. I am CPR/First Aid certified and have experience in responding to emergency situations. I have 6 years of adventure education experience and love teaching kids experientially, whether about nature, themselves, or others. I have received CPI certification through the camp that I have worked at and feel confident working with children of any ability. I hope to hear more about how I can serve your family and be a loving, safe, and engaging nanny!
