A little bit about me

I've been taking care of kids since I was a child myself, around 26 years. When I was 12, I became a certified babysitter. I *was* CPR and First Aide certified but I have no problem getting recertification. I can cook, clean, I have 187 college credits so I'm not inept if they need some tutoring or help on homework. I'm a classically trained musician too so if they need help there, I can definitely help. I love my family more than anything, especially my nieces and nephews. I either had or have my FEMA:NIMS certification, unsure on the expiration date on that, and though I haven't quite completed my education, I almost have an associates in Safety Management. I know the city very well, my car is street legal, licensed, and I have full coverage. I only have 1 ding on my record for speeding but that was some time ago. I'm available 24/7 as well so if there's ever a need outside of the schedule, I'm happy to help.

A little bit about me

I am 20 years old and no longer in school
I have my highschool diploma
The experience I have in childcare is that I have a younger brother who is now 8 and ever since he was around 1yr old, I've babysat/taken care of him countless times. And a few years ago, I would watch my neighbors 12yr old son who has autism the whole summer from early in the morning until she got home from work at 6pm.
I am not working right now so I'm very flexible. I do have my own car and license. I if course would pick up after myself as well as the kids, I wouldn't mind doing any other housekeeping duties either.
