A little bit about me
Caring for kids has always been a big part of my life, and I love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for the little ones I watch over. I’m currently a student at Belmont University, double majoring in Theatre Directing and Public Advocacy—so storytelling, creativity, and strong communication are second nature to me!
I have experience working with children of all ages and understand the importance of balancing structure with fun. Whether it's helping with homework, planning engaging activities, or just being a reliable and caring presence, I’m here to support both kids and parents. I also know how important consistency is for children, and I strive to create a routine that feels comforting and natural for them.
In my free time, I love exploring local parks, reading, and finding new creative outlets.
I’d love to learn more about your family and how I can help! Feel free to reach out—I’m excited to connect.

A little bit about me
I am a 3rd-5th Self-Contained Special Education Teacher at a Fine Arts School at CPS. I began working with kids at the age of 15 through the Special Recreation Association of Central Lake County. I have continued to work with kids-teens (with disabilities and without) in a variety of roles such as: Special Recreation Program Assistant/ Program Lead, Day Camp Counselor, Camp Director, Summer Science Teacher, Summer Social Emotional Learning teacher, private Spanish Teacher, Preschool Teacher assistant, and of course- plenty of babysitting/ nannying jobs!
I am bilingual in Spanish and English. I absolutely love reading, cooking, and anything to do with nature. I run after-school Cooking Club at my school. If you want someone to meal prep, make lunches, and teach the kids to cook- that’s my specialty! I enjoy anytime being outdoors! I have a clean driving record and my own car. I enjoy taking babysitting kids on outings and I don’t mind play-dates.

A little bit about me
I’m a patient, calm and warm caregiver. As a practicing artist with classroom experience, I appreciate helping kids experience as much simplicity and order as they can when their big and favorite humans aren’t around. My specialty is the baby/toddler stage but I’m currently supporting a family with 5 kids ranging from infant to 15. With Mom soon transitioning away from work to stay home, I’m opening myself up to find a new family to support. I’m currently in a fellowship program for studio art which is mainly online in the evenings out of my art studio, but does require travel a few times a year. If having a creative caregiver is important with slight flexibility in your schedule, I’d love to chat!

I am a self motivated, nurturing caregiver looking for my next long term family. I love being around children of all ages and exploring the city with them whether it be a park, museum, classes, or the library. I come from a military family so we are very close knit and that is super important to me.
