A little bit about me

Hi Dear family. My name is Liz Castro. Nice to meet you. I consider to myself a responsable, affectionate, lovely, trusted and energetic person. I like to be like a big sister for kids not just a babysitter cause I think that feel like a big sister gives the best experience for them and for me. They can learn about me and so can I. Being like a big sister and a best friend for them and take care properly of them it's a pleasure for me. I love going outdoors and enjoying the nature around, making crafts, playing games, doing puzzles, dancing, reading books and cooking.
