I have been involvedΒ in childcare for many years now, from having 6 younger cousins (min. of 6 years younger than me) and a baby brother who is 14 years younger than me, to babysitting for families through high school and college and working in an after-school care program. I have been working in sports since I graduated college in 2021 and that also involves a lot of interaction with different types of people and lots of children. I just got married and am looking for a bit of a change of pace, and have always loved being around children. I am also CPR and AED certified. I take childcare very seriously and am very trustworthy and responsible, as I know how it feels to put your trust into someone regarding your kiddos (because I'm basically like a second mom to my younger brother).
