Hello! And thank you for taking the time to find out o a little bit about me! I have always enjoyed working with children. I obtained my degree in Early Childhood Education. I have worked in several Early Childhood Centers, in Rockford and in Huntley. At each center, I taught 3-5-year-olds. I co-taught at a Middle School in a life skills class and have experience working with children with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome and children who are nonverbal. I currently work as a Student Support Interventionist at a Middle School. Working with children has always been a passion of mine and I would love to become an addition to your families! I also really love all animals. I have 3 dogs, 3 cats and a dwarf hamster. In my spare time I love reading, going for walks with my dogs, cooking, painting and yoga!

I have over three years of experience working in a daycare with children ranging from infants through school age. During that time, I gained a strong understanding of daily routines, age-appropriate activities, and creating a safe, nurturing environment.When COVID hit, I began nannying full time for an 8-month-old, providing one-on-one care and supporting their growth and development. I really loved the closer bond that comes with nannying and working so closely with a family.I have a college degree and currently work full time in the corporate world, but I’m looking to transition back into nannyingβ€”where my heart really is. I’m reliable, easygoing, and very attentive, and I take pride in being someone families can trust with their children.I’d love the opportunity to support your family and be a positive, consistent presence in your child’s day.
