A little bit about me

I have taken care of my mother that has CRPS and my brother with autism for 9-10 years due to my mother being sick and in a wheelchair. I also have a few younger cousins that are 10 years younger than me so when I visit I am the babysitter. I still am in high school so I would need to come after school, I also am in an EMT class and I am BLS certified.
