A little bit about me

Hey! My name is Alicia I am looking to take care of a child on a part-time basis. I am very good with children since I have previously worked as a caregiver for two girls and the parents have loved me! I also grew up with a family full of children and I was also in charge of taking care of my little brothers. I hope you give me the opportunity to take care of and protect your baby.
