I’m the eldest of four girls—my youngest sister is 10, and I’ve been helping raise and care for my siblings for years. I started babysitting by working with families, many of whom I met through my mom’s pediatric office, and I truly love the bond that comes from being a consistent, caring presence for kids.My most recent job was at Primrose School of Bloomfield in Michigan, where I taught children of all ages from 6 months to 5 years. I’ve also babysat across a wide range of needs, including night feedings, newborn care, and caring for older children.I’m currently a second-year student at Loyola University Chicago, living right by the school since I moved to Chicago this August. I’m majoring in Early Education with a minor in Business. I’m first aid and CPR certified in the state of Michigan, and I’m currently working on getting my Illinois certification soon.I’m originally from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and I’m excited about this new chapter in Chicago—I’m loving every bit of it. The only downside is that I don’t have a car yet, but I can always Uber or take the train.
