A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Tommia Bell, I'm 23 years old, and I recently completed my service in the Army. While serving, I was trained in first aid twice a year and continue to keep those skills sharp. Over the past few years, I’ve been babysitting on weekends and during free time for fellow soldiers and their families, caring for children of various ages. I’m dependable, calm under pressure, and great at keeping kids engaged and safe. I’d love the opportunity to bring that same level of care and responsibility to your family!
