working with children is something I would like to do as a long term career. Although I am 19 years old and have worked primarily in retail for the last couple of years, I believe I have the kind of experience that you are looking for. I am reliable, calm, patient and organized with a strong work ethic. When I was younger our family did respite care for foster children who lived with our neighbours and I also come from a large family. Caring for children is a joy to me and I would put all of my effort into providing a loving and caring yet structured environment for your children. I am familiar with what it takes to run a household and am willing to learn additional skills as required. I take instructions well so that your children would be cared for within your parameters. I have my own transportation and first aid certification
