A little bit about me

I am a 17 year old who has experience as a hostess at a local restaurant. I want to transition into a babysitter as I have lack of time to come into the restaurant all the time. I am an athlete and a senior about to graduate and pursue the Physical Therapy route. I think it would be beneficial to work with children now as I aspire to specialize with kids and athletes in PT. I have several baby cousins and moms friends that I babysit all the time so I have experience with babysitting kids. I enjoy teaching and playing with kids and babies, and find it as an enjoyable and learning job experience. I am also very friendly and an athlete which could help kids who are interested in a certain sport!
