I have extensive experience working in childcare as a Lead Preschool Teacher at the Goddard School and as an Infant/Toddler Teacher at The Learning Experience. I enjoyed my time as a nanny for three children, ages one, four, and seven. I adored the children, just as I adore my two young nephews. I am a 26-year-old from Cedar Rapids, Iowa relocating to the Chicago area. I have a psychology degree from Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, and I have been caring for children the majority of my life. I come by this naturally as I am the third eldest of six daughters and have a gift for nurturing and protecting children. I was raised in a positive, happy, and safe environment and feel it is my vocation to provide that same setting for other children. I enjoy various fitness activities: running, hiking, rock climbing, and weight lifting. In my spare Read more time I read, craft, and cook. I am a kind, outgoing, and energetic person with a positive attitude. All of these qualities, along with being flexible and a quick learner, help me to provide the best possible experience for young children while parents are present or away. As you can see from my resume, I am CPR and First Aid certified and have extensive experience creating and teaching lively lesson plans and activities for children aging from six weeks to seventeen. I am a firm believer that children learn most efficiently through play and consistent routines and am adept at working with parents to make each child’s best interests a priority. Thank you for the opportunity to be considered for this position, and I look forward to speaking with you personally about your family’s needs.
