A little bit about me

Hi, My name is Brittney Quarentei. I am from Cape Cod, but I am in Maine because I am a sophomore attending the University of Maine. I am 20 years old, and I have had years of experience with taking care of kids. I have a younger sister (we are 9 years apart) so I have dealt with all the different age phases! I used to do a lot of babysitting around my neighborhood and for family friends when I was in high school. I find myself to be kind, responsible, and funny. I loved taking care of my little sister as we were both growing up so I believe that I am pretty experienced in taking care of kids.
