A little bit about me

My name is Olivia, I'm 19 and currently go to Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck. I am a full-time student but my schedule offers a good amount of flexibility. I have my license and my own vehicle. I have signed up on this app because I love working with kids, I used to babysit my young nieces and nephews when I lived in Texas. I also raised my younger brothers. I am a care-taking kind of person, it brings me joy to be able to provide for those in need. Even if it's as simple as babysitting. I lack CPR certifications but am hoping to take a course soon to get certified. I'm a very responsive and quick-to-react person when it comes to emergencies, I've seen a thing or two. I hope I can provide the services you and your child may need. Thank you for reading this far :).
