I’m great with animals (my original profile was for pet sitting)... but I also have a 3 year old baby sister that I’ve been responsible for since she was born while my mother worked full time... and a 10 year old cousin (my mom’s sister’s son) who I basically raised while my Aunt was in nursing school full time at UAH. I believe in teaching. “If you catch a child a fish you feed him for a day.... if you teach a child to fish you feed him for a lifetime.” This has been my mother’s most revered quote raising my brother and I... we both were in the Talented and Gifted program throughout all of elementary and middle school, and received multiple honors, awards and scholarships throughout high school..... which led to the full rides we’re enjoying now! I haven’t enjoyed assisting her with this same philosophy raising my Read more baby sister and I know that having this mentality is not only beneficial to the child, but also imperative to our society as a whole. I’m extremely responsible and dependable, and can provide references. Kids and animals seem to love me and have no trouble adjusting to my presence. I’m honest and have dedicated work ethics. Thank you.
