I have experience in professional childcare (I worked at a daycare) and less-official childcare in the form of babysitting and I've grown up with about a billion cousins, half of whom I've been saddled with watching more often than not, which means my patience levels and my creativity levels are off the charts. Of everything I believe, the belief that children are our future and that we should protect and nurture and love them is my strongest value. I'm the sort of person who will read a sucky book all the way through, just because I hope that even mediocre characters will get a good enough ending. I'm the sort of person who will drink all eight cups of tea my mother makes me even though I got tired after cup two. I cry at the end of every movie, just because it's over, at the idea of new beginnings Read more because I'm inherently afraid of change but always willing to push on anyway, at the idea of growing up and forgetting what it was to be young. I like to write and read, draw and paint, listen to music and organize things. I like to make people happy.
