Raised in Texas as the eldest of three siblings, I always seemed to find myself babysitting my younger sisters. Thrown into taking care of my sisters from a very young age, I became responsible quickly, and it is a trait that is often used to describe me by those who know me. I have taken care of more children than just my sisters of course, as I grew older I was the go to babysitter for numerous local families, and many of the families that still have kids continue to contact me whenever I visit home. I have always been passionate about volunteering, being a part of the National Charity League since age 12. Through this organization, I have volunteered hundreds of hours alone at a summer program that helps children learn how to read. My responsibilities at this program include taking care of up to 10 children at a Read more time on my own, playing games with them in gym or making crafts with them in art, serving them breakfast and lunch, attending to food allergies an cleaning up afterwards, assisting children in learning how to read, and countless other tasks. My passion for caregiving does not end there, as it extends to a years of experience with pet sitting (dogs ranging in many different sizes, cats, birds, hamsters, and fish). Having grown up with pet dogs, and a lover of all animals, friends and family often joked that I was an "animal whisperer" whenever they witnessed me interacting with everything from geese, to snakes, and of course my beloved dog, Maui!
