Hola, mi nombre es Sochyl. Tengo 27 años, soy venezolana de nacimiento. Tengo una niña de 2 años de la cual he estado al cuidado exclusivo de ella desde su nacimiento. Me considero una persona paciente, cariñosa y responsable.

A little bit about me

I’m a newcomer to Chicago, moved here from NYC after falling in love each time I visited. I’ve worked with children since I was 14, starting as a babysitter and even becoming a full time 1st grade teacher for some time. Left my school to move out here and would love to be outside and getting to know the area while also helping out a family!
