When it comes to children, I have a long history caring for many different age groups. I have the energy and most importantly, patience when it comes to keeping up with multiple children. Taking care of toddlers is a big responsibility that I take into consideration when it comes to interacting and creating a trusting relationship. I have extensive training in childcare when it comes to emergency situations and how to handle them through a special program at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, making me a certified child caretaker. I enjoy creating interactive and educational art projects that toddler aged children can enjoy as I have created lesson plans for my very own kids I volunteer for. Every week I volunteer at Little Village's Telpochcalli Elementary school where I create lesson plans and work with children ages 4-11. This was an opportunity a professor and fellow educator Read more at SAIC invited me to take part in as I expressed interest in arts education. I also have 7 years of babysitting under my belt. I have been babysitting for a family regularly for 3 years. I have known the family for 5 years because the mother was a fellow teacher of mine in high school. I also helped work birthday parties as a teaching artist. Besides that my natural nurturing instincts came from being a counselor at Chicago Park Districts for over 5 years growing up. I was shown that responsibility at a young age because of my maturity at a young age. I took care of over 20 kids ages 6-13 every day and helped create a safe environment. Children tend to gravitate towards me as my personality emits an easygoing and fun nature.

Trust & safety
