Hi, I'm Gretchen! I'm 20 years old, and I'm a junior at Columbia College Chicago majoring in multimedia journalism and creative writing. I have experience working with kids with special needs for over four years as an inclusion aide for MNASR in summer camps, activities with senior citizens with disabilities, and after school programs with kids with behavioral issues, as well as a nanny for three summers for two boys. I also like to be active, write, read, and spend time with my lovely grandparents who live down the street from me. 'm very outgoing and energetic, so your kids should never be bored with me.
