My name is Taylor Kessinger. I am 20 years old, but don't let the age scare you! I have plenty of life experience to make up for it. I lived in Chile for a year as a foreign exchange student with Rotary International and have been on 6 mission trips to Honduras. I love helping people in anyway I can. I have experience as a tutor for college students learning spanish, as well as babysitting experience from the age of 3 months to 11 years old. I have spent 4 summers counseling at summer camp and have experience with different children's programs such as VBS, AWANAS, and children's church, among others. I love children, though I do not have any of my own, I thoroughly enjoy taking care of them. I feel as though I can be a great role model for a child of any age. I do not Read more smoke, nor do drugs of any kind. I have my CAR certification, and my CA hours (I am currently waiting to take the test), and I know basic first aid skills. I also have some health experience, as I am currently working at a dialysis center. I am currently in Illinois, but will be moving to the Portland area at the end of August. I hope to hear from you soon!
