experience

I graduated from Northwestern University with a Bachelor of Science in Communications. After undergrad I got an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adult from Hamline. I’m from Minneapolis, but I spent about 7 years in Chicago after college. I worked at a K-8 charter school for 5 years. There I worked as a Special Education teacher and a student services coordinator. In my role as a SSC I worked with sick and injured kids and this inspired my passion to go to nursing school to work as a school nurse. Recently I’ve worked as a postpartum doula so I have a lot of experience working with infants.

I have been involvedΒ in childcare for many years now, from having 6 younger cousins (min. of 6 years younger than me) and a baby brother who is 14 years younger than me, to babysitting for families through high school and college and working in an after-school care program. I have been working in sports since I graduated college in 2021 and that also involves a lot of interaction with different types of people and lots of children. I just got married and am looking for a bit of a change of pace, and have always loved being around children. I am also CPR and AED certified. I take childcare very seriously and am very trustworthy and responsible, as I know how it feels to put your trust into someone regarding your kiddos (because I'm basically like a second mom to my younger brother).
