A little bit about me

Hello! I'm Jordan. I'm a 28 year old girl (emphasis on the "girl" because I have a boys name). I am an ASU graduate with a business degree. Right now I just want to do something that makes me happy, and being with kids makes me happy! I live with my boyfriend and our amazing dog. I can cook, clean, I've been an athlete my whole life and I've coached children in soccer and cheerleading. I love playing games, doing arts and crafts, and being active outside. If they have homework, that is the most important thing to have done before anything else. I have a car incase they need to be somewhere. I will make sure the children are safe and protected at all times. I am very responsible and will follow whatever rules I am given to take care of your child.
