A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Jasmine Pratt, I am 16 years old and looking for a job. I prefer to take care of children 10 and up, I do not take care of special needs children, I have no experience in taking care of one, and I don't want anything bad to happen. Additionally, I have no medical experience, if your child has a condition like Asthma, Please tell me what to do. If your child gets hurt, like a scratch h or srap, Please tell me where your bandades are.

As for anything else, please tell me rules that I need to know for you child. (bedtime, lunch time, dinner time, etc). I will not cook, I do not trust myself to cook I can make a simple sandwich or a bowl of circle or Ramon noodles. Anything else, please have prepared so I can warm it up for your child.

I hope I can be helpful to you and your child, Thank you!
