About Nia-imani

I started babysitting when I was in high school and also started working at an in-home child care facility in Oak Park, IL. The range of children I worked with at this child care center was from 1 year to 5 years old. I was a nanny during the summers of my undergraduate career. During these summers, I worked with children from ages 5 to 12 years. Also, while attending college I tutored children at a nearby elementary school. After college, I worked as a mentor and tutor and I worked with elementary, middle school, and high school students. During graduate school, I worked for a Head Start program, primarily working with children from 6 months to 5 years. I also have provided care-giving and tutoring services for a family with two elementary aged children. In more recent years, I have been in the role of school counselor and then assistant principal.
