A little bit about me

Hello! I am a recent graduate from the University of Kansas and am looking for a summer gig before moving to Chicago for nursing school! I have worked at a childcare center/preschool for a total of 3 years and spent the majority of my time there in the infant (0-walking) and toddler/twos classrooms. This job has provided me with great hands-on learning experience and extensive training on how to care for young infants through preschool-age children. I also have experience in babysitting all kinds of ages of children since I was about age 15. As you can probably tell, I have a passion for caring for children! I also worked as a swim lesson instructor, lifeguard, and pool manager for 6 years, and therefore have my CPR and First aid training and am very confident in these skills. You can trust that your children will be well taken care of and safe when in my care :)

A little bit about me

I'm a mom of 3 boys that vary in age, one is in college on a football scholarship and my youngest will be 3 years old in July. I am a active mom who loves kids, animals, sports and the outdoors. I coach kids sports and have worked with the Special Olympics.

I am very interactive with children, I like getting kids outside playing or playing games that gets them to use their imagination rather being Infront of a screen, though there are somethings that are fun and educational to watch and play inside too. I listen and value every childs feelings and opinions. I'm extremely patient and observant. I know how important it is for a child to feel safe and valued and I always do my very best to help every child feel special in their own way.
