A little bit about me

I'm an energetic, creative, and warm person who loves working with kids! I have experience as a Sunday school teacher, summer camp counselor, community center child caretaker, and I am a licensed substitute teacher working in Chicago Public Schools. I earned my Bachelor's degree in 2019 and have lived in Chicago for about a year and a half now. I am comfortable with assisting with house work, driving, and homework help/tutoring. I love to find fun and creative activities/crafts to do with kids to keep them active, imaginative, and learning every day--I believe in the importance of taking a break from screen time, especially during the summer! I look forward to connecting with you and hearing about your lovely family.
