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!
