A little bit about me

Hi,
my name is Thijin Bol; i am 27 and i live in Des moines, IA. I don’t have a lot of childcare paid jobs that I can referred to, however growing up African we are raised to raise our younger siblings, my grandmother ran a daycare since I was 10 years old; I help her take care of the kids and cook for them until I went off to college. I worked as a care giver before moving to new york in 2015 and i’m back now doing the same work, I just realized that I am basically a babysitter/nanny for adults. I ask myself why not become a full-time nanny instead of being a care giver, it’s a similar line of work. I love taking care of people and kids. I am a model and a fashion designer, i moved back home to focus on my fashion line while also making a live for myself not just making a living like i was in new york.

I hope reading this will make a family want to hear more of my story,
thank you!
