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!

A little bit about me
Hello! I have worked in childcare for over 10 years, and the last 4 years in Chicago in a daycare and preschool setting. I have worked with children as young as 3 months old, but most recently at the daycare, I have worked consistently with 2-4 year olds. I have experience with potty training and have changed many a diaper! I've also worked with elementary schoolers all the way up to high school students in after-school program settings, as well as inside the classroom while substitute teaching and providing workshops in the theatre arts. My goal is to approach childcare with compassion and empathy and treat children as the human beings they are, and to meet them wherever they are to help them along their journey.
