A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Cristopher but I am usually known by others by my last name, Cortes. I am currently a junior college student studying in civil engineering. I am offering toddler care.
I would take care of my niece and nephew when I was in my high school days. I would pick them up from school, cook basic meals for them, and would help them whenever they needed help with any school activities. I find it enjoyable to teach kids something new and strive them to be their best selves.
I also work as a household assistant and can cook basic meals and clean if necessary.
I do not have any allergies to pets.
