A little bit about me

I am a recent graduate of UVA and do not start full time work for a few more months. I am open to baby sitting full time until March 2024 and part time after that. I enjoy all things outdoors, interactive games, story telling, play making, fort building, and all things athletics. I have a 2 year old poodle that I often run with during my exercise time & grew up playing lots of basketball. I just moved to the area and am looking to meet other families and explore the fun activities of the DMV!
