A little bit about me

Hey hey! My name is Nora and I go to Tennessee Tech University as a freshman currently. I am 18, i turn 19 November 2nd. I have been working with kids since i was about 14. I prefer 3+ for ages. My current schedule includes: free most days after 2 and free weekends. I only go home about once or twice a month and it’s always on weekends. I would have to take breaks from babysitting when I go home for end of semesters though because I live in Portland Tn.
