I am currently a Special Education teacher during the daytime. I work with 3rd-5th graders in Park Ridge area. I have worked as a camp counselor for 10 years through the Buffalo Grove Park District with grades 1st-5th.I have also been a babysitter for over 10 years. I have babysat all ages from birth to 14 years of age. While babysitting I try to involve the children in enriching learning activities as well as fun interactive games as well as creating arts and crafts projects. I love to be outside and often try to spend as much time outside playing as possible (I could always practice my soccer or basketball skills). I am great with animals as well. I have a black lab who loves to play fetch.
