A little bit about me

Hello! I'm an actor here in Chicago looking to get bak to childcare after almost a decade in restaurants. Most of my time was spent teaching classes at Legoland in the burbs, and babysitting some of wonderful kids in Lincoln Park when I first moved to the city.

I love making kids feel seen heard and safe to grow into the wonderful adults they dream of becoming.

I'm open to just about anything let me know if you have any questions!
