I absolutely adore working with kids. I have over ten years of experience working with children of all ages and stages of development, both one-on-one and in large-group settings. As a former teacher, I love finding new ways to motivate children and inspire learning. I specialize in creating and implementing fun, educational activities tailored to each child's unique learning styles and interests. I was the lead teacher in a mixed-age, blended preschool classroom before becoming the Preschool Program Director of a gymnastics academy. I have also worked as a "Playologist" for the Chicago Public Library, as a babysitter for children (ages 0-12), and as a tutor/instructor for an after-school program (grades K-8) in Irving Park. In all of these roles, I focused on using structured games, movement, exploration, and experiential learning to foster my students' academic and social-emotional development. More than anything, my favorite part of my job is making Read more kids laugh.
