Hello! I grew up in a large family, so I have 10+ years of babysitting experience from watching my own siblings as well as kids around my neighborhood. I also have lots of experience with children who have disabilities. When I’m not attending classes, I am a member of McKendree University’s women’s swim team, so I love staying active.
