I’m born & raised in Chicago. I’m the youngest of 4. I’m also in my early 30s even though I don’t look it. I’ve been educating since 2019. I absolutely love teaching. I’m very detail oriented & very hands-on. I attended the Illinois Institute of Art, studying Illustration and Design. I can draw, paint, sketch, create logos, websites, flyers and more. Most importantly, I vow to love the child first & educate them second.

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Jamie! I’ve been a babysitter for 11 years, caring for several different families. I also worked as a camp counselor at a day camp for three summers, where I oversaw a group of about 25 seven-year-old girls. Following that, I spent two summers at a sleep away camp, first as an Assistant Unit Director for the youngest girls and later as the Arts and Crafts Director.

I love working with children! During college, I nannied in Bend, OR, for two summers. One summer, I cared for a 4-6-month-old girl, and the other, I looked after a 2-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy. I kept them busy with trips to the park, swimming, and fun art projects.

I graduated in June 2023 with a double major in Art and Education. Last year, I worked as a K-6 art teacher at a charter school in Chicago.
