Hi! My name is Jackie and here's a little about me. I'm a sophomore in college currently majoring in psychology with a chance for history education. I've been babysitting/nannying for the past year or so but prior to that I lifeguarded and taught swim lessons for 3+ years. Personality wise, I'm outgoing and funny (or at least I think I am), with safety always being my number one concern. I also can drive, don't smoke and I am AED/CPR/First Aid certified. In terms of specialized experience, I have a gluten allergy (celiacs) so I take allergies very seriously as well.

Iβm the oldest daughter of 10, so I have taken a caretaker role in a lot of my younger siblings growing up this made me what to pursue elementary education. I love helping kids grow and develop into their own individual people. I also love helping kids reach an AHA moment when something finally clicks with them. I have known I wanted to teach from a young age so Iworked hard to make my dreams into reality and graduated high school three classes away from an associates degree. I am currently a second year Junior at SIU.
