A little bit about me
I have been working with children and families as a nanny/ sitter for 10 years. I started off as a lead teacher in the infant room for 3 years where I helped with introducing new food, establishing a feeding, sleep schedule and potty training.
I also have experience with kids who are on the autism spectrum. I worked as a behavioral technician providing children with ABA therapy between the ages of 2 and 5 years old. As a behavioral technician I helped each child reach their developmental, motor, vocal, and physical goals. Currently I am a birth & postpartum doula, supporting couples as they expand their families.

A little bit about me
Hello! I am a recent graduate of Grinnell College where I earned an honor's degree in psychology and education studies. I moved to Chicago (Hyde Park) to begin graduate studies at Loyola University where I am pursuing a master's degree in education and an education specialist degree in school psychology. I've been caring for children for 10+ years in private homes as well as public academic and clinical settings. I've also cared for children with disabilities as a behavioral technician at an intensive ABA clinic and, most recently, a caregiver for a child with physical and cognitive impairment resulting from a brain tumor. I love to be active and help children have fun outdoors. I also enjoy arts and imaginative play– I'm not afraid to be goofy! I'm a great cook and I value a clean, organized space so I would be happy to help with additional housekeeping tasks as well. Please reach out if you think I might be a good fit for your family's needs!

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.
