About Natalia

I'm currently a 6th year at Purdue. I'm predicted to graduate December of 2024 with a degree in General Education: Curriculum and Instruction where I will then go and get my Montessori certification as a masters degree to teach 4th-6th grade. I have always loved working with kids and have been doing so for a long time. My brothers are 5 and 7 years younger than me, and from age 12-18 I was one of their primary caregivers while my parents worked full time. I babysat for other families when I was 15, and got my first nannying position when I was 17. I then left for college and came home for COVID and nannied for another family, and this past summer I nannied as well. I love hands on actives, crafts, being outdoors, getting messy and making messes (but most importantly, learning the importance of cleaning up your messes), and just watching children learn and grow. I recently worked at a Montessori school in their toddler room as well as spending time in their 4th-6th grade classroom.
