I also performed housework and meal preparation, Morning, Lunch, and Dinner. I have four siblings who are now 8, 10, 13, and 15 years old. My siblings and I would have movie nights or costume parties, and my favorite thing we always do is reenact movies and just sing. What makes me a good candidate for Read more this job is I have lots of experience in babysitting.
