A little bit about me

I'm Alric, an 18 yr old transgender man and artist. I think working with kids is fun and want to hopefully make a positive impact on them. I've lived around a bunch of younger cousins and siblings my whole life so I have experience watching over younger children, cleaning, cooking, and keeping them entertained. I also have experience with many types of pets if they need looking after as well, (cats, dogs, rodents, reptiles) Please do not contact if you are uncomfortable with hiring a transgender person to watch your kids.

A little bit about me

Some things about me! I am 23 years old, 24 in October. I recently graduated from Lindenwood University with a Bachelor’s degree. I moved to St. Louis just over two years ago from a town about two hours south, called Cape Girardeau. I love dogs, I foster dogs and have been for about a year now. I also enjoy spending time with my friends, going home to see my family, spending time outside, and traveling. I actually just recently had the amazing opportunity to travel overseas to England to visit family, along with making a quick trip to Paris. I’ve always been a hard worker, and I take pride in doing my job well. I am someone who does my job to the very best of my abilities and often goes above and beyond.

I have been a teacher at the Goddard School for two years now.

Hi! Im Kayleigh!
Though Ive never been paid for childcare Ive taken 2 years worth of childcare development in High School which included an onsite pre-school where we were tasked with making lesson plans, snacks, and activities.

Im only 20 but through my years Ive been tasked with watching my little cousins, and often all of them at once (4 of them and all different age groups)
A bit about me
I love music, any and all I can get behind
Im soon to graduate with my associates in the arts
