Hi and thank you for visiting my profile :) I am an elementary school social worker with summers off. I earned my Master's in Public Health with a focus in childhood health and wellness in 2015 and then worked at an after school program at Sauganash Elementary and decided to then get my Master's in Social Work. The entirety of my professional experience has involved children. I have worked as an after school program manager for CPS, worked as a social worker for early intervention, working with children and families between the ages of 0-3, and of course the majority of my day-to-day as a school social worker involves working directly with children and family to support them in any way. I have been babysitting since I was about 14 and absolutely adore kids. I connect well with infants, toddlers and more generally, children of all ages. I'm able to Read more give homework help, prepare meals, provide rides, and act as a caring mentor for each child I work with. I am patient, compassionate, and reliable. *I am happy to provide references upon request. Thanks, Elana :)
