A little bit about me

I have a HUGE family! Siblings of ALL ages a handful of which I was blessed to raise, my youngest is 20 years younger than myself. As well as starting out as a babysitter for families in my childhood neighborhood. I’m great with kids because I’m a kid at heart who keeps morals, values, principles, and respect at the heart of everything I do. Even as an adult we learn something new everyday and there’s no better way to help a child grow then to always keep them learning even if it is only about how putting their toys away when they’re done will help improve their quality of life as an adult.

A little bit about me

My name is Quincie, most people call me Q! I am a 19 year-old student at Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio studying marketing! I love kids. I am a very hyper and silly person myself so I tend to get along very well with kids. I watch cartoons and little kid shows myself so I like similar things that a younger kid would. I do not have much experience in babysitting but I am very loving and would take care of a child as if they were mine or a sibling. I am not very experienced with cooking, but I do know how to warm up things of course and prepare little healthy snacks! I hope you reach out to me soon😊
