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!
