A little bit about me
I am a Junior in highschool, I go to Whitney Young highschool in the West loop. I love working with kids and I’ve been babysitting for a while since I have two younger siblings. I play many sports mostly soccer and flag football and I have good experience with young kids because this summer I worked teaching kids as young as 3 to ride bikes. I also love to read, draw, and bike when I can.

A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Yelissa (you can call me Yeli ) I graduated High School in NYC Last year and took a gap year, which has allowed me to grow in so many areas. I'm taking online college classes and will spend a few months living with my sister in Chicago. While I don't have an official job experience in babysitting, over my time as a missionary this year I supervised the children of the families living on base. In March-May this year I lived in Sri Lanka with my team of 13 people (including a couple with a 1.4 yr old) I took care of her (naps, feeding her, playing, carrying the stroller) I enjoyed it! Looking forward to creating fun and educational games and assisting your family as needed :)

I’m 32 years old, I’m a mom of two kids of 10 and 8 years old, so I have a special patience and treat with kids and babies, I think their feeding is so important and their mental health is the most important, I believe they can understand our adult world if only we find the right way to explain.
