Hello! My name is Kristen and I am 25. I live on the southside of Chicago in Mount Greenwood. I finished high school at Chicago HS for Ag Sciences and have started at Harold Washington for a degree in Early Childhood Education. I plan on continuing this coming Spring/Summer. I have always had a passion for working with children and especially those who are younger and need more attention. I have always been everyone's favorite babysitter because I get involved with the children and enjoy interacting with them. Side note, I am a type one diabetic for those of you with children with diabetes. I also have babysat children with Autism and allergy complications.
