As a full-time social worker with Chicago Public Schools (CPS) and a Master’s-level clinician (MSW), I bring a strong foundation in child development, emotional support, and educational enrichment to my work with families. During the school year, I am dedicated to helping students build resilience, emotional regulation skills, and social confidence. In the summer months, I love extending this expertise into private family settings, offering personalized, attentive care for children of all ages. I have extensive experience supporting a wide range of developmental needs, including working with gifted learners, children with special needs, and those navigating emotional or behavioral challenges. My approach blends warmth, creativity, and structure, ensuring that each child feels safe, engaged, and empowered in their daily routines. I am trained in trauma-informed care, social-emotional learning (SEL), crisis intervention, and early childhood development. I view my role not just as a sitter, but as a trusted partner in Read more fostering your child’s growth, well-being, and joy during the most important moments of their day.
