Hello families! My name is Lili, and I am a sophomore at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. I am currently studying Political Science, on track to becoming a lawyer. Outside of my professional aspirations, childcare has been a passion of mine for years!I have been caring for family members from the age of 13 in an informal capacity. More formally, I have been babysitting outside of my family for about 4 years. Two of those years were in a summer camp facility where I learned safety precautions, stimulating entertainment, as well as educational implementations. With this combined experience, I hope to offer your little one a fun and appropriate experience!
