A little bit about me

I am 20 years old and I just moved to Des Moines from a small town in northwest Iowa to attend school at Aveda Institute. I come from a large family and am very experienced with children. I have 15 nieces and nephews! I was a lifeguard the past 3 summers so I am trained in CPR and First Aid. I love children, but I also love to keep things neat. I am available Wednesdays and Fridays all day and some Mondays.
