Hi! I am a newer resident to Chicago, but was born and raised in the Midwest. I’ve worked professionally with children from ages 5 to 20 for over 10 years with a focus on teaching them social and emotional skills. I also have a degree in Learning Development and Family Science. You’ll find me playing games with or talking to the kids at family or friend gatherings versus engaging with the adults. Laughing and being silly are my favorite things to do with kids! I have empathy, patience, and kindness. I would love to help your family out!
