A little bit about me
I am 22 years old, I live in River North and am finishing college online. I have been helping take care of children for years. The same families for long periods of time, dropping off or picking up from school (probably not a need anymore), helping with homework, taking them to activities, amusing them and keeping them busy and overnight stays. I am smart, funny and kids seem to enjoy my company. That and I love Disney, Marvel, DC, Harry Potter and a myriad of books and shows that kids love too. I also love to cook.
