A little bit about me

I am almost a college student, in my senior year of high school. I will be evicted from my current household when I turn 18, meaning that working here would be the best for me. I have taken care of my sister and other kids in my family being the elder sister. My mother is a single mother, working full-time at a gasoline stop. So I know what it means to have to work and have no one to take of the kids. As a nanny/babysitter, I would help with every day nanny tasks such as housekeeping, meal prep, and feeding, help with schoolwork, cleaning of kids' bedrooms, and picking up toys or other things that fall out of place. I am very creative and good in school with a 3.0 GPA. I am not working here to help myself but to help mothers and fathers out there who need the help, because, after all, the only thing that a parent wants is for their children to become something in the future, something better. If, for any reason, it becomes too difficult to pay, a few days would be waived fo those days.
