I am a current psych and brain science student at UCSB and play on the women’s soccer team. I have 2 younger siblings and grew up caring and watching them. I babysit in my hometown(Bay Area) for various families and have been for the past 3 years. I absolutely love children and spend a lot of time engaging with them as I work soccer camps for youth ages. I’m super energetic and have a lot of free time right now especially on the weekends!
