I’m a very sweet and compassionate person. I’m very patient with people and children. I am pretty talkative and energetic. I’m a very adaptable person, so whoever the child/ren are I can easily get along with them. I’ve been looking after kids since I was 10, but started getting paid until 2 years ago. I just enjoyed watching over the kids and seeing them grow up. I know first aid and CPR, but I’m not certified. I learned first aid by myself and by my mom. I got taught and learned CPR from health class. I’m sure I’d be a great nanny or babysitter if you gave me a chance!
