Hey, my name is Sincere! I am a 21 year-old college student, I enjoy watching movies with my family and writing recreationally whenever I can. I have been working since the age of 16, balancing school and work has been apart of my schedule for sometime now. One job I had the opportunity to work at was Lilβ Kickers, this was a soccer camp training students between the ages of 15 months to 6 years-old. It was not a competitive program but it helped introduce the children to communication and logical skills with fun soccer games to keep them active. Sometimes parents would spectate but most of the time they would leave the coaches responsible for the children. I worked at Lilβ Kickers for 8 months before relocating to a closer job. I enjoyed my experience and I was hoping to work with children again in the future. I have young siblings as well, a brother who is 15 and a sister who is 8, I took care of them when my mother was not home and it never was no problem. I understand the schedules of parents can become chaotic and difficult, I hope to alleviate the stress and take full responsibility of any task given by the parents.
