A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Ivy, I am a 22 year old paramedic from Chicago. I have two cats, love working out, reading, pilates, baking, and hanging out with friends. I have experience with working with children as my mother is a preschool/kindergarten teacher full time, and I was her aid for about four years before I started babysitting part time in my late teenage years. I currently work as a paramedic full time at a firehouse near Chicago. I am so excited to get to know your family and hopefully bring some stress relief and happiness to your home!
