Hello! My name is AvaMarie, and I am currently a senior at Roosevelt University majoring in Psychology with a concentration in child and family studies. I have experience babysitting children aged 16 months to teens. I am also a ballet teacher, where I work with children as young as 6 months old on motor and developmental skills, but outside of this division, most of my students are around ages 2-4. I am BLS certified through Red Cross and have some emergency medical training, as I was previously nursing student! I also have experience working with neurodivergent children and have a younger brother with Apraxia of speech. I hope to be a good fit for the right family! **Note: I am happy to provide a reference list and BLS certification if requested**
