I've been around children all my life. Between family, friends, and helping my older sisters when they baby-sat as teenagers, I've been looking after kids even when I was one. I really enjoy being around little ones! I can also help you with your other babies, your pets, if you need help.

I've worked with children for a long time anywhere from the age of being 3 months - 16years. I know how to prepare and cook meals, bathe, playtime, reading. I used to work at a home care facility and watched over an older lady, so I am well aware of the amount of responsibility I need in order to care for others.
