I nannied full time for a family with 3 boys (3yrs, 5yrs, and 8yrs) for 8 months during the pandemic. I also spent one summer in college as a mother’s helper for a newborn and 2 toddlers. I babysat weekly throughout high school and regularly throughout college. I have also worked as an EMT, a lifeguard and swim instructor, and as a Home Health Aide. I love kids and I love to play and foster learning. I myself like to play sports, read, and spend time outdoors. I have a college degree and have lived in Chicago for 4 years.

I have been a pediatric speech language pathologist for 14 years. Prior to beginning my career, I had extensive baby-sitting experience. I will provide care for my nephews and niece regularly. I have extensive experience working with children with special needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder. In addition to providing speech and language services, I am also a feeding therapist. I am CPR-certified. I am just looking to do some work slightly outside of my career-field.
