Hello I'm Mercedes and I'm looking forward to getting to know your family! I'm 23 years old and grew up in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. I've been babysitting since I was 14 years old and love any oppurtunity to be around children. Anyone who knows me can confim my love for them. I'm hoping to start my own daycare after college, with my parents help. I come from a small immediate family of 5 but a large extended family and I can't wait to start my own. I am interested in starting asap. I'll make sure we have a very fun day, everyday! I remember being a kid and being babysat by my grandmas and they always made sure we didn't sit inside and rot in front of the TV all day. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
