Hi parents! 😊 I’m a caring, energetic, and dependable childcare provider with 3 years of professional daycare experience. I absolutely LOVE working with children and truly enjoy being part of their growth, learning, and development! I’ve had the opportunity to work with children of different ages, including 1 year as an assistant Twos teacher in a classroom of 16 children and 2 years as an infant assistant teacher caring for little ones from as young as 3 months to 16 months. I also have Gateway certificates and plenty of hands-on experience creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children.I’m patient, attentive, playful, and passionate about making sure every child feels safe, happy, comfortable, and cared for. One of my favorite things about working with kids is seeing their little personalities shine, celebrating their milestones, and watching them discover something new!I would love the opportunity to care for your little one and become someone your family can trust and feel comfortable with. Your child’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priority! 💕✨

I have been in the childcare and early childhood education field for 6 years. My experience expands across art-based, Piagetian, and Montessori educational curriculums. These various programs have shaped my approach to childcare to be child centered; meaning fostering an environment that encourages play, creativity, and independence while keeping close bonds and strengthening social-emotional skills. I have experiencing working with children with ASD as well as behavioral challenges.I have an Associates of Arts degree in Human Sciences and am currently completing my Bachelors of Social Work at Loyola! With my education I will be focusing on child/adolescent mental health and social justice. I am from Chicago, so my passion for youth in the city inspires me to help raise a generation of kind and empathetic children.
