About Carmen
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello! My caregiving style, inspired by Maria Montessori, is being "steel wrapped in velvet"-gentle but with clear boundaries. I'm a grad student in School Social Work at UIC with 10+ years of experience with kids of all ages. I've been a Montessori teacher, art camp leader, homeschool teacher, soccer coach, and substitute teacher. I believe in learning through play, creative activities, and outdoor adventures (and I'm big on screen-free time!). I love to cook and often involve kids-it's great for creativity, math, and fun. I also encourage cleaning up and following through on family expectations.

While I do not have direct experience hiring her as a caregiver, as Carmen's high school counselor, I can confirm / give her rave reviews on time management; work ethic; care & concern for others; patience; honesty; integrity; gentle spirit; kindness to others; sense of humor; maturity. I am rating her on these character traits.
