My main goal in caring for children is to make sure they feel safe and comfortable to be themselves. I enjoy reading, playing, and creating crafts.

I have taken piano lessons for 9 years and am comfortable helping beginners with their practice. I am also open to assisting with homework or school projects when needed. My experience working with children is as a babysitter/nanny, vacation bible school camp counselor, and volunteer work at an elementary school in Naperville.
