A little bit about me

Hi I’m Aniston, I’m a 22 years old online college student. I’m from Singer, LA and child number 4 of six, with 9 nieces and nephews. I started babysitting at 9 years old, and haven’t stopped since. Children have always been a big part of my life that I have cherished very deeply. While in college, I have expanded my reach, working at a daycare and, on weekends, babysitting many of my students. Even after leaving that job, I continued to babysit for some of those families, as I built a connection with them. Since leaving my day care job, I have experimented with many other fields, but my heart always brings me back to working with kids. I do all of my school work online, to allow myself more time to dedicate myself to my work, so that will never be an issue for me. I have no physical limitations and am very ready to get to work!
