A little bit about me
Hello! I’m a multidisciplinary artist & educator here in the beautiful city of Chicago. I have three years experience in youth programming and mentorship through the Chicago Public Library. I believe that education is not a monolith & I strive to create a collaborative, unique, & loving experience for each child/parent. I am flexible, fun loving, but firm and I care for each child I get the privilege to work with. When I’m not teaching I assist on films/music videos with set design or makeup artistry.

A little bit about me
I am a registered nurse who is currently looking for a part time nanny position. I have experience working with the pediatric population in a hospital setting and can provide safe care for your children. I have always been passionate about working with children. In high school I worked at a Lifetime Fitness center in the kids academy for 2 years. In that role, I got promoted from team member to an instructor and taught classes like explosive science, cheer clinics, arts and crafts, and more. For 3 years I was a part of the Big Brother Big Sister program in my community where I mentored young students. I also traveled to both Brazil and Thailand to teach English in orphanages and schools. I grew up with a little sister 6 years younger than me and was thrown into the babysitter role quite early in my life. I have great experience and my bubbly, outgoing personality makes hanging out with children an enjoyable and fun experience for everyone involved.

I am a 25 year old High School Teacher for Chicago Public Schools. I am currently looking for a summer nannying position. My ideal position would allow me to spend the summer building a relationship with a family that I would ideally be able to keep working with throughout the school year. I am safety oriented, but want to make sure your kid(s) have a fun filled summer doing whatever it is that they enjoy, as well as helping teach them along the way!
