Hello! I'm Tori and I'm a grad student at Dominican University, with my hometown being Downers Grove, IL. I'm doing a coordinated program combining nutrition and business administration. I've had two years experience working with special needs kids and adults, including two summers as a counselor at a special needs summer camp. I also worked as a caregiver for adults with intellectual disabilities. Working with special needs has definitely made me become more patient, understanding, and creative. Additionally, I have been babysitting regularly throughout middle school, high school, and college. I've babysat from infants up to preteens and love working with kids of all ages! I also have experience working at Vacation Bible School for three summers and occasionally at a church nursery. I'm CPR certified, as well as Mandatory Reporter certified. Although it's not really related to child care, I'm also a certified yoga and Pilates instructor!
