A little bit about me

My name is Taylor. I have a lot of experience caring for children. My last job was at an agency where I did media planning. I graduated from De Paul in 2021.

Growing up I always loved giving back to the community so I would volunteer and work at the day care center that u grew up in and also work as a summer camp counselor at the Montessori School I went to.

I love Children and love being outside. Would love to do outdoor activities and spend lots of time at parks and things of that nature. I also have a car and have been driving in the city since I was 15 so I am a very good and well experienced driver who can take your children to school and after school activities
