I’d describe my personality as empthetic, optimistic and attentive. I like working with kids because they are what this world is all about! I love helping children learn and grown in any type of environment. Feeling safe and seeing the beauty that is all around us is the key to a wonderful childhood! I have been working with children for more than half of my life. I am currently an assistant pre-k teacher in Lake Forest, this school year will end for the summer come May 24th. I have been a nanny for families with 5 kids and for families with newborns. I am very adaptable and enjoy every bit of seeing the boys and girls cute little faces! I do have children of my own so I am looking for a part time job. However, I am very flexible with time/day. In my spare time, I like to play Read more any and all sports with my boys in the backyard. I take my dogs on long nature walks and bop over to the health club for quick workouts. Kids and animals are basically what my life is all about!
