A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Parker, I’m a 16 year old high school student. I am currently starting my path into teaching/childcare and I currently hold a Leader position at Neighborhood Boys And Girls club. I adore kids and am excited to have some of my own one day! I am confident in my abilities to take care of kids of any age. Not only do I currently have a job working with children but I have also taken care of children in other babysitting jobs, which when I was around 12. I am available to work weekends and certain after school days (weekdays are a hit or miss). I have a drivers permit and I will be able to get my license in a month or two hopefully, when that happens I will not have a car unless I am working a weekend (And even that depends.). Hope to be taking care of your little one soon!
