I have been taking care of kids for over half my life, most of it for free but, being a teenager in a large family has it's pros and cons. I love kids, I wanna be a mother one day! Our kids are the new generation, and I aim to make sure that every child in my care will be better off after having me as their part time guardian, and that they feel supported by me on top of what support their parents already give them. I am currently applying to college for child psychotherapy, kids and their well-being is extremely important to me. If you decide to have me as a babysitter I promise you will not regret it! I am not just funny, although that is a BIG plus, but I was taught how to cook AND clean, thoroughly might I add. so not only will your Read more kids be happy, clean and well fed; you're house will look like I was never there, isn't that nice? I'm a package deal! buy me, get my car! I can drive and I have a valid license, so don't even worry about it if you're kids have soccer practice you can't drive them to (or a last minute hangout that you just don't feel like dropping em off at) I got it! I can also work with special needs kids! As an autistic adult, I understand how hard it can be to navigate life in a way that is deemed 'different' to others, I can offer an insiders point of view for your children, and I can help them better understand how to maneuver life in a way that works for them!
