A little bit about me

I grew up in Logan square I own a pitbull mix my hobbies are walking on the 606 , being in nature, rollerskating, cooking, baking, hand making journals. My list of hobbies can keep on going that is What excites me of working with kids I see the big responsibilities and how to care best for them but also the fun it is to help a child in the day to day activities. I am a caring energetic, creative individual with abilities to keep growing in different environments. I have a little sister a cousins that I would take care of all summer. This summer they will be going off to summer camp as they are older now. I have a great appreciation for little ones watching them be amazed and curious about the world in the time I am there I will help them navigate through anything they need. I believe rather than force kids to obey, it has worked best for me to teach them how to benefit from doing what is right instead!

A little bit about me

I love being a babysitter since I started helping my mom when she was nannying herself, she has taught me everything that I know about taking care of kids. I care about the kids I watch over and will organize activities and field trips to have fun, but I will always prioritize safety first. I am passionate about every client, job, and project I take on and this will be no different.
