A little bit about me

I’m 17 years old, live in Indianapolis, Indiana, and I’m a senior in high school. I’m completing my last year of high school online at Connections Academy so that I can work more, however I attended North Central High School and Fishers High School before that (I used to live in Fishers.) So far I’ve worked at Culver’s, Shake Shack where I’ve been working for a couple years, and Muldoons in Carmel! I haven’t had an official babysitting job but I love taking care of my sister’s siblings and enjoy being around children in general! I really love to do all sorts of activities and I enjoy being active as I ran track in high school and still go to the gym a few times a week. I can cook basic meals but I’m opening to learning recipes or cooking anything specific. I think my biggest strength is that I’m great with communication and I’m really open to new things!
