I love working with children, their energy makes them so much fun to be around! In the past, I had babysat a family with two children: a 7 year old girl and a 5 year old boy with mild autism. I also assist my sister in caring for a 1 year old boy and a 4 year old girl, also with mild autism. I also spent one year voluntarily tutoring a 6th grader in math. I am responsible, caring, and patient, yet fun and energetic. I am currently a Sophomore studying healthcare administration at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I currently am not CPR certified, but am planning on becoming certified beginning this summer. With me, your kids will have fun playing and learning rather than sitting in front of a television set. I am comfortable with newborns to young teens, and I also love pets and have no Read more issues taking care of dogs, cats, or other house pets. My hobbies include reading, horseback riding, biking...anything that involves being outside! *To clarify, I am available May 22nd through August 3rd 2014*
