I am passionate about creating a safe, fun, and empowering environment for children. My experience includes two years in professional childcare settings and one year working with elementary students in special education. This background provides a deep understanding of diverse learning needs. I am also trained in the Nurtured Heart Approach, a framework used to build a child's confidence and self-control. This means the focus is on a child's positive qualities and gives clear, consistent limits without energizing negative behavior. The goal is to help every child recognize their greatness. I would love to bring this positive energy to your family. I am moving back to Chicago after a couple of years back home, and am eagerly looking for work, so if you think I might be a good fit for your/your familyβs needs, please feel welcome to reach out!
