I am 22 years old and I live in Logan Square. My background experience involves watching kids from ages 2 and up. I have plenty of babysitting experience and have taken CPR classes. My parents remarried when I was very young and my dad had 2 more kids with my step-mother. I have watched them, babysat them, changed diapers, etc, since they were born so I know the drill ;) My hobbies are horseback riding (when ever I get the chance to ride), running (was currently training for a family iron man in Ireland, but was canceled). Something fun to know about me, is that I recently bought a new puppy that's an entirely different breed than what I am used to having, (which are golden retriever's). His name is Otto and he is a German Shorthaird Pointer. My dislikes are people who smoke. I am currently in school part-time, taking three classes, two days a week in the city so I am pretty flexible with being open.

Eventually got to talking about baby siting and went from there. We both also lived in the same building so it was convenient to babysit her two kids ages 2 and 4 often. I eventually moved out of my building because my lease was ending. Still on good terms with the family.      Lilly Wickman  I have known Lilly and her son Alex for years. My mom and Lilly work together at the same company and my mom recommended me to Lilly to start babysitting. I have also watched him on family vacation trips. Lilly moved out into the suburbs a little farther from the city. Still on good terms.
