A little bit about me

I'm a very patient and caring college student. I love to spend time with kids and to bond with them. I'm looking for a holiday job and I'm open to any schedule. I've learned that every child is different and I'm very good at catching with their needs. I consider myself as a flexible person when it comes to the functioning and routine that each family may have, and I try my best to be helpful in anyway I can.
