About Natalie

My passion for working with children started young, babysitting my younger brother for most of his life. I have 2 years of professional experience working as a teacher's aid in a daycare/preschool setting, primarily with infants & toddlers but ages 4-5 as well. My top 3 skills as a caregiver is patience, problem-solving, and creating a fun & comfortable environment. Every child is different, so I get to know them personally and accommodate to their specific needs, while also jumping into their world so I can be a dependable caregiver but also a friend at the same time. A little bit about me, I grew up in California and moved to Chicago at 19. In my free time I like to do songwriting/write poetry, go on walks, & play video games!
