A little bit about me

Hello! I teach at a local elementary school, worked with elementary to high school aged students in Arlington Heights for six years, was an award-winning PTA member, helped students found the Random Acts of Kindness Club of Arlington Heights, mentored high school students, and led Character Counts in D25 schools. More importantly, I am the mother of two happy young adults -- one considered a gifted learner and one with special needs. I believe everybody is amazing and we each have our unique gifts.

I'm a former elected official, responsible, honest, creative and caring.

More About Me

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

crafts, cooking, reading, social-emotional activities, drawing, storytelling, being outdoors

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being safe, responsible and respectful to everyone in the family!

My experience with special needs children...

My son has Down syndrome and autism. I have 19 years of experience working directly with children who are differently abled with physical, developmental and intellectual disabilities. I am a helper, leader and advocate in the disability space. I love connecting with any child and their unique personality and perspective!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Working for a summer day camp, I had a boy who was new to America and did not speak English in my group. His mother didn't speak English either. Every day we would communicate by hand motions, eye contact and smiling. Mom knew I would care for her son with all my heart. Over the summer they both learned English. The child gained confidence and friends. Last day of camp he painted me a picture of us holding hands with a big heart at the top. I still have it hanging in my bedroom, knowing I made a difference in the life of a child.
