I’m a 20-year-old junior at Illinois State University majoring in Criminal Justice Studies, with a long-term goal of working in criminal investigation because I’m passionate about helping people and advocating for justice. I’m originally from Chicago, Illinois, and I currently work at Raising Cane’s, with additional experience in retail, fast-paced environments, and childcare. As a true Biblical Christian, Jesus is at the center of my life, and I do my best to represent Him through kindness, patience, and integrity while always remaining respectful of others. I’m very comfortable caring for children of all ages and love creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment. I enjoy cooking and baking, helping with routines, and keeping kids active and happy, and I’m also very pet-friendly. I’m looking for nanny or babysitting opportunities where I can support families in a dependable, caring way while building a genuine connection with both parents and children 😊!
