A little bit about me

Hi there! I'm Emcat, I'm 27 and I moved to Chicago four years ago. I pride myself on being very crafty, reliable in an emergency, a good cook, an even better baker, and someone who tries to keep in touch with their inner child. I've always been passionate about working with kids and making them feel seen in a world that often overlooks their value. Looking back at my own childhood, I wish I had more adults in my life that understood that, despite my age, I still deserved a seat at the table. Now whenever I work with kids I commit myself to never allowing them to feel unseen or unheard. I'm a big believer in instilling creativity, emotional intelligence, and critical thinking in young minds. My ultimate goal in working with kids is to create a kind, compassionate environment for them to flourish in!
