I am a former Chicago Public Schools PreK Teacher who has also taught Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 5th grade in a public school setting. I have a wide variety of experience working with children from infants through high school age. Most recently I was working as a school administrator, disabilities coordinator, and instructional coach for a large early childhood center in Chicago. I have extensive experience working as a nanny and babysitter within a family's home both with and without parents present. Compensation is negotiable for the right family/schedule. I can offer a good deal of flexibility. I have a bachelor’s degree in both Early Childhood Education (Birth to grade 2) and Childhood Education (grades 1-6) I have 22 years experience working with children/youth from birth to age 21. At this point in my career I specialize in working with 3-5 year olds, young children with social-emotional/behavioral disorders, and teaching Read more academically-driven, play based prekindergarten.
