A little bit about me

I am 18 years old and currently attending Wilmington Job Corps Center to gain valuable skills and become advanced towards my pathway. I have been taking care of of children from the age of 7 to 18, practically my whole life. I consider myself a well-engaged person who loves being creative and making children happy. I am very caring and empathetic to other’s feelings and environments. I have deep love for animals and enjoy reading about them to help others gain more knowledge. I love to help around like cooking and cleaning.
