Hello! I'm a sophomore at Loyola University of Chicago with a passion for childcare, shaped by years of experience as the oldest of five siblings. Since I was 12, I've played a key role in supporting my single-parent mother by helping care for my younger siblings, who are now 3, 5, 7, and 12 years old. This hands-on experience has made me confident in caring for children across all age groups. This past summer, I had the opportunity to work as a Youth Learning and Enrichment Fellow for AmeriCorps. In this role, I provided support to youth aged 9-17 at a shelter, where I developed and implemented engaging activities that catered to a wide range of interests and needs. I believe in creating a nurturing and stimulating atmosphere that encourages both fun and learning. My approach to childcare centers on open communication, active engagement, and promoting a growth mindset. I focus on validating children's feelings, staying calm, and setting clear boundaries

Ruby did a fantastic job watching our 3.5 year old. She was completely engaged in meeting and playing with him, followed our schedule, and was overall great to work with. She also did well with our dog, who is difficult with strangers. We’d love to have her help again and highly recommend her!
