Whether you're looking for help with daily routines, school support, or just someone trustworthy to care for your little ones, I’m here to help!

A little bit about me
I will be graduating from Illinois State in December of 2024 with a degree in Early Childhood Education, and an endorsement in Special Education. I will also be CPR/First Aid certified in mid-December. I am currently finishing up my student teaching assignment in Olympia Fields, in a 1st grade classroom. I have been a nanny for the last 3 summers where I have taken care of two children (current ages are 7 and 5). I also spent the summer of 2023 working 3 days at Bobbie Noonan's where I primarily worked with the infants. I have maintained a 3.9 GPA at ISU, and was a memeber of the ISU gymnastics team all 4 years I attended. I love children and have a desire to grow with a family. I intend on using my background in education to be an active nanny by incorporating educational activities daily.
