I’m an RBT with 3 years of experience working with children with ASD, where I've developed a strong foundation in patience, empathy, and creating supportive environments. I love the field so much I am actively pursuing a Masters degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. In addition to my therapeutic work, I've coached kids ages 3-15 in T-ball, baseball, softball, and soccer, and I played softball myself for 13 years, which has taught me teamwork, discipline, and how to motivate others. I'm CPR certified, and as a proud pet owner of three dogs, I’m experienced in caring for animals as well. I’m passionate about working with kids, whether it’s providing therapy, coaching, or simply making sure they feel safe, engaged, and happy. My compassionate, patient, and reliable nature allows me to build trust with families and create positive experiences for every child I work with.

Hi! I’m Kelsey — an experienced nanny and infant teacher with a strong background in early childhood care. I’ve worked as a Head Start teacher, infant room teacher, and private nanny, caring for children from newborn through preschool age. I’m especially comfortable with infants and toddlers, including feeding breast milk, supporting developmental milestones, managing routines, and handling illness or challenging behaviors calmly and safely. I’m organized, reliable, and communicative, and I believe in keeping parents informed about their child’s day and development. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, attending library programs, and creating a nurturing environment where children can grow and feel secure. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping and family routines as well. I look forward to supporting your family!

Great communication and very accommodating. Would definitely book again!
