A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Claire! I am a 29 year old Chicago resident. I recently wrapped up a role as a recruiter and before that I was working as a Career Counselor (I have my masters in counseling). I have always loved working with kids and grew up babysitting and worked as a nanny all through High School . Currently, I am not CPR/First-aid certified, but I was at one time and would be happy to do it again!
I am a very bubbly, and positive individual who loves to make everyone around me feel cared for. I am also extremely patient. I love to read, and play games but am also happy to sit and watch a movie.
I would love to meet your family!
