I am a senior at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. I am studying special education and currently in my final semester working at a local high school in a special education setting. I am extremely passionate about teaching and am mindful of the importance of education and child development. I have had experiences with respite care for children with and without disabilities. I love being creative, playing fun activities age-appropriate for your child, and to provide learning opportunities! I ran track and field and cross country in college, and also played soccer throughout my lifetime. I love staying active and eating healthy! I am different from your typical sitters. I am very mindful of your child's individual needs and will provide opportunities that are fun and relatable to your child's interests. I would love to talk to you to discuss what things are important in your family so that Read more I can bring in creative ideas to do when your child is with me. I am very reliable and will stay in contact with you via text or call to keep you updated on your child. I love sending pictures or videos to show how they are doing :). Please contact me if you have any other questions! I would love to send you my resume, references, and have CPR and CPI certification. I also have my background check and tb test recently completed due to my student teaching placement in the city. Thank you!
