A little bit about me

Hello all🥰 I am an In and out of college student new to the Bay Area (coming from SoCal), trying to get back on the school grind. As of now I am on a break from school meaning I have a lot of free time on my hands. I’ve grew up in a household of 7 (4 girls & 1 boy)and have 3 nephews all within the last 3 years, so I have experienced dealing with kids of all ages and know how crazy it can get! Short summary about me is that I am usually that girl at the family parties running around babysitting and playing hide and seek with all the other kids while the parents enjoy their time, it never gets old!
