A little bit about me

Hey there! My name is Michele. I am 19 years old and I’ll be 20 in November. I graduated last year and am currently taking a gap year and going to be starting online classes this fall. My passion in life is working with kids. I’m looking for somewhere new to explore and meet new people in a new city. I’ve been babysitting since I was twelve and have worked with children of all ages ranging from infants to 16 year olds with all sorts of disabilities. I’m also currently working on getting CPR certified. If you have any further question feel free to reach out!

A little bit about me

I am a kind, sweet, gentle, and loving person. For most of my life, I know what it's like to be alone, and I never wanted that for children. I love being around children.
