Hii!! I’m Emily :) I just started college classes, straight out of High-school. I love kids, and being able to grow around them. I’m pretty stern but I love watching cartoons & playing outside when needed. I’ve always been my family’s babysitter, so taking care of children is something I enjoy. I don’t expect much of a pay, because this is my first time putting myself out there for a babysitting job. Feel free to ask any questions, they are needed!!
