A little bit about me

Hi! I’m a full-time college student home for Christmas break. I attend school nearby, so once break is over I’ll still be available most weekends. I’m a nursing student and a volleyball player, and I have a 10-year-old sister who I’ve helped take care of since she was little. I’ve also worked in childcare for about a year at my local gym, caring for children ages 3 months to 12 years old. I have experience with special needs and very energetic kids, and I’ve also worked at my local pool supervising and interacting with children of all ages.
