Meet Grace

  • Comfortable with pets

Hi! I am a social work grad student at UIC looking for occasional babysitting. I am a recent graduate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where I studied psychology and social work. In college, I worked as a student worker at a preschool where I supervised children between the ages of 3 months- 3 years old while they played, explored, and experimented. I also assisted with routines and basic caregiving needs of the children. Additionally, I worked at an after school program where I lead and facilitated activities to a group of eight fourth graders everyday after school. This summer I worked as an ABA therapist providing 1:1 therapy to young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental disabilities. I love working with kids and I also love outdoor activities, sports, and cooking. Looking forward to hearing back from you!
