I took a babysitting training course when I was 13. Now 19 I have 6 years of experience and of all age ranges. I have babysat up to 6 children at once. I enjoy being outside and going to the park as well as doing arts and crafts and sports. I am CPR and First Aid certified and a psychology pre-med major in college. I have a bubbly personality and I am also a public speaker for NAMI. This means I go to high schools and middle schools across the area and give presentations on mental illness and then share my story as well. I am good with all pets as well. I grew up on a farm and had two dogs and two cats.
