My name is Cathi and I grew up in Downers Grove, IL. I am going into my senior year at Roosevelt University studying Journalism/Communications. I love kids and have been taking care of them my whole life, starting with my two younger sisters. My parents fostered other kids growing up, and at age 11 I started baby-sitting for some of my neighbors' children all through out high school and some of college. I even worked in my church's nursery for two years caring for very young infants and toddlers. I love animals as well and will be happy to watch any pets you may have. I have taken care of kids from all different ages and with all different medical conditions, diets, and extracurricular activities. I became CPR certified a few years ago, and since I believe it expires soon I plan on retaking the course this spring.
