A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a first-generation college graduate with a bachelor’s degree in social work, and I’m currently pursuing my master’s in school counseling. For the past 3.5 years, I’ve worked with Chicago Public Schools as a college and career coach, helping students build confidence, set goals, and plan for their futures. I also have five years of professional nanny experience. As the oldest of three siblings, caring for others has always come naturally to me. I’m patient, dependable, creative, and passionate about helping children feel safe and supported. I love sports especially baseball and softball, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and keeping kids active and engaged. I have a reliable car and am very comfortable with pets, I have a Goldendoodle of my own! I would love to become a trusted and caring extension of your family.
