I have several years of experience working with children in both classroom and childcare settings. I have worked as a substitute teacher across elementary, middle, and high school grade levels, including serving as a permanent substitute at an elementary school. I also spent two summers working as a camp teacher, where I planned educational activities, supervised children, and created a fun, safe, and engaging environment. In addition, I have experience working with children of diverse abilities and learning needs, including gifted and advanced learners, as well as children with muscular dystrophy, intellectual disabilities, autism, ADHD, and various behavioral and developmental needs. I recently earned my Master’s degree in Secondary Biology Education and am passionate about helping children learn, play, and grow. I am patient, dependable, and compassionate, and I am committed to providing attentive, high quality care while ensuring every child feels safe, supported, respected, and valued.

hey there!! My name is Kaley. I am currently attending Roosevelt University and I am in my second year. I am excited to be apart of the Wyndy community in hopes of getting to connect with families and be a good influence for any kid(s) that I work with. I grew up with little siblings and currently work as an afternoon pre-k teacher at a daycare over the summers, so being involved and around children is something I am very comfortable with. My schedule is pretty up in the air at this point as I am a theatre student so my availability can be a little all over the place but I am ready and eager to help out whenever works for me and you! Reach out to me with any questions. I can’t wait to meet you and your family!
