A little bit about me

In my current role as an Oral Health Educator, I travel to schools and park districts in the Chicago area, offering oral health education and resources to students and families. While this work has been rewarding and I love working with children, I am seeking a nannying position to establish deeper, more personal connections with individual children. Additionally, I have experience as a Developmental Autism Specialist, providing one-on-one therapy for children aged 5-14. I utilized the Developmental Relationship Based Intervention model, which is a play-based approach to autism intervention that can be applied to any child at any developmental stage. This approach has equipped me with valuable skills for engaging with children in meaningful and effective ways.
