A little bit about me

I'm 18 years old looking for a job, I'm pretty good with kids. I would love to meet you first and then see if you would like me to be your babysitter. Kids love me and I would treat them respectfully. I'm not experienced in babysitting but I have done it for free to help my mother out.
