A little bit about me

Hello!
My name is Katie. I am currently attending Loyola University Chicago pursuing a dual degree in Political Science and Environmental Policy. I am going to be a sophomore this year. I am originally from Minneapolis, MN but I now live in Chicago while attending school. I absolutely love children! I am also a bit of a perfectionist so I love staying organized and would easily help clean up around the house. I am very outgoing and love meeting new people! The best way to reach me is through text or email as I currently am working full time in Minnesota. I used to babysit my neighbors when I was younger, and also worked at a trampoline park as a children’s party host so i’m used to working with children and families. A fun fact about me is that I love to travel, and have been to almost all 50 states and 4 other countries! I am also a certified first responder and am certified in CPR through the American Red Cross. I am available Monday through Friday after 2pm as I have class until 1. I am free on the weekends as well!
