A little bit about me

I’m a freshman college student looking to make extra money to pay for my tuition. I have two younger siblings, one eight years younger than me and the other twelve years younger than me. Since I was a kid I had to change their diapers, fed them, bathe them, and play with them. Throughout my high school career this didn’t change, I still had to take care of them as my parents worked nightshifts, meaning when I came back from school I had to watch over my siblings. I did this all unpaid and it took time away from me to get an actual job, but it also built up my experience with kids. I can cook simple meals and don’t mind doing light housework.
