Hi! After years of using wyndy down in Birmingham, AL, I am back home in Chicago and looking forward to babysitting here while I complete my Masters in Public Health. I have experience with date nights/occasional sitting as well as nannying. I love outdoor activities with kids or just being silly and getting some energy out. It’s important to me that I make the kids feel valued and pay attention to their individual needs.
