I have 9 years experience caring for children as young as 5 weeks old, and up to 14 years old. I attended Harper College from 2008-2010 as a full time student, and I worked at a day care in Arlington Heights while I wasn't attending class. Here, I cotaught children between the ages of 2 and 5. I then attended Northeastern Illinois University of my undergrad in social work and continued to work at the day care. I am currently attending UIC for my Masters in School Social Work. I will be graduating in May of 2014. I absolutely love working with children and helping them learn and grow both academically and emotionally. Additionally, I am CPR certified and enjoy doing crafts and playing games with the children I babysit or nanny for. When weather permits, I like to take children out to go to the park, ride bikes, go Read more for a walk, or even take a trip to the zoo. I am very responsible and my main concern is the safety of the children I watch.
