My name is Rachel W. and I am very new to the Naperville area! I most recently have decided to discontinue my position in sales and management, which I have dedicated myself for the past 3 years, to chase my dream once again of becoming an art teacher. I've always had a knack for helping children break out of their shell through crafts. I graduated from Northern Illinois University with an art degree. My specialty is portraiture! You could say I am now taking an opportunity to put my foot in the door! However, I am not under qualified in child care. Since I was 13 years old I have been babysitting occasionally for different family members, friends, and family friends. I also volunteered and taught private swim lessons for children between the ages of 2 and 11 for 2 1/2 years. I was also an instructor for children in Read more the ESL program and special education. I have also studied the Spanish language for 7 years. I can not say I am officially fluent just yet but I do attempt to make myself more involved in conversations on my husband's Hispanic side. So if you are interested in me helping your children learn a bit of a different language, I would be very happy to teach! I also love animals! We have a 7 year old tabby cat named Matt and a 10 month Shepard/hound mix named Penny. They are our little angels. I can say I am very optimistic, energetic, organized, and very positive! It is also hard for me to disappoint. :) I'm sure if I was given the opportunity, you would be happy you did! Thanks so much for reading! Sincerely, Rachel W.

Rachel interviewed with us. It went very well and we told her we would contact her in the next day or so. We were going to offer her a job. We called and sent text messages but she never replied. We have not heard from her since. This type of behavior is extremely unprofessional and frankly quite rude. Based upon how the interview went we thought she was interested in our position. Even if this wasn't the case it would have been courteous to communicate with us.
