Hello! I’m a dedicated individual pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Economics at Wheaton College. I also earned my Associate of Arts in Business from Elgin Community College in 2023, where I completed college courses full-time during my junior and senior years of high school. This allowed me to graduate with both diplomas, showcasing my ability to balance multiple commitments. I am passionate about working with children, and my professional and volunteer experiences reflect that commitment with ages 3 months - 14 years old. As a Life Time Fitness Supervisor, I manage a team of childcare professionals ensuring a safe and engaging environment. I design age-appropriate activities that promote physical, cognitive, and social development while communicating closely with parents. In my role as a Life Time Kids Instructor, I led children through activities such as swimming, rock climbing, field trips, and arts & crafts, creating memorable and enriching experiences.

In Albania during the summer of 2023, I helped lead outdoor games, team-building exercises, and small group discussions with middle school students at a summer camp. This experience deepened my understanding of working with children from diverse backgrounds and allowed me to connect meaningfully with them. As a Discipleship Small Group Leader, I mentor 7th-graders, guiding them through faith-based discussions, team-building, and retreats. Part of my role as a youth leader includes taking my group on mission trips. In Harvey, Illinois, during the summer of 2024, I led the youth group on mission trip where we worked in a rehabilitation center and participated in community service projects. I mentored the youth, leading small group discussions to help them reflect on their experiences and develop leadership and empathy. These experiences have strengthened my leadership skills and ability to communicate effectively with both children and parents. With a strong foundation in childcare, leadership, and community service, I am excited to bring my skills to Sittercity and provide high-quality, nurturing care to children. Note: I do have a car, CPR certified, and have a LinkedIn
