I am passionate about providing a fun and enriching environment for children to learn and grow and most importantly, feel safe. With my international teaching experience in Chicago, Dubai, and Hawaii, I bring a global perspective that values cultural diversity and fosters a sense of open-mindedness. I am dedicated to helping children develop their social, emotional, and cognitive skills while instilling a love for learning. Currently I am back living in my hometown of Chicago working an elementary IB school in Edgewater. Whether it's assisting with homework, engaging in creative play, or organizing educational activities, I am committed to making a positive impact with each family. In addition to being a teacher I am also a children's author and I have published a fictional story with a climate theme and a coloring book to accompany it. If you're looking for a dedicated and experienced international sitter to support your family, I would be delighted to connect with you. In addition to my teaching experience and multicultural sensitivity, I am fluent in English and also speak conversational Spanish.

I have been a mother of two children and raised them to be solid citizens of this country and established a work ethic that I deemed important in the development of other family’s children. I have love and compassion for these children which my references will fully vouch for. It is my desire to teach, coach, and train them, giving my heart and soul to further expand these children’s hopes and dreams! I realize my responsibility to be more than just a “sitter” because I am an extension of the family and thus, take great care in their nurturing and education.

In addition to creating a phenomenal annual growth increase in MAPS, CSAP, DRA, & TCAP testing as a classroom teacher, my past employment has given me in-depth experiences in providing services to children and adults with, and without, developmental disabilities as well as managing and organizing a variety of activities. I have developed highly effective teaching techniques and instructional methods, which have allowed me to educate all styles of learners and foster an enthusiastic and engaging learning environment that effectively teaches subject appreciation, promotes creativity and encourages growing independence. One of my greatest strengths as an educator is meeting each student’s unique needs by developing an in-depth personal understanding of each one of them. I achieve this by recognizing and assessing the students as individuals, and tailoring lesson plans to accommodate multiple intelligences. Furthermore, I offer one-on-one and after school guidance to ensure that all students grasp the learning materials and enhance their personal skills. I have worked hard to develop not only an outstanding resume but also an exceptional reputation. I will carry this over into my work and strive for dedicated success. I want to use my proficiencies to gain experience and help those for whom I work with and for. I consider myself to have sincere people skills, outstanding organizational skills, and of course, dedication to providing a dynamic education to children with hopes of making a significant impact in their life.

***Fully Vaccinated*** Hi there! I moved to Denver, CO from Portland, OR in July 2020. I graduated with a Psychology degree in summer of 2019 and formerly employed as a Mental Health Counselor at an at-risk youth residential center. I have a dog of my own named Malo, who is my best friend. During my spare time, I do yoga, see live music, go on hikes, and play with my dog. I am an aunt of three amazing nephews and two beautiful nieces. Back home, I lived with my sister and her husband and took care of their two girls ( at the time were 9 months old and 2 and a half years old) Monday - Friday and some weekend nights. I have experience babysitting kids from the age of 7-16, along with kids on the Spectrum and administering oral medication. I am QMAP'd and have my CPR certification. I love kids and if they like sports, nature or just playing outdoors, that's a plus because I love the outdoors! I am experienced in changing diapers -- yes, even blow outs, preparing meals for the day and/or school, driving little ones to school/park/errands, changing clothes, reminding to clean up after themselves, potty training, limiting screen time and mentally and physically exercising during play time! With that being said, I will take care of your kids the same way I take care of myself -- with love and patience. For the last three years, I was a Mental Health Counselor as listed above for at-risk youth; I have a passion to work with kids! I am seeking occasional babysitting gigs when parents needs a break or want a lovely date night. Currently, I am getting my masters in clinical psychology and decided to take a break from the mental health field to focus on school; therefore, my schedule is pretty much completely open! However, I do prefer to babysit during the day to nights, even late nights! Hope to hear from you :)

I have been a babysitter/nanny for the past seven years and have experience with children aged newborn-12. I have worked consistently with eight families and enjoy all ages. I love children and connect with them with ease. I enjoy playing with them and allowing them to learn and grow to become who they are. I believe that each child is unique and therefore require a unique experience no matter the developmental age. I currently work at Children’s Hospital in the Neonatal ICU as a Nursing assistant and will begin my job as a RN in August on their hematology/oncology floor.
