Hello my name is Kiernan and I am 21 years old. I am currently attending the Ohio State University, I’m a communication major and have received my associate of arts degree from Columbus state. I’m very family oriented, growing up I’ve always had to take care of my younger siblings which gave me the experience necessary for babysitting/nannying.
