Though I don't have a CPR paper I did pass my CPR training test. I have multiple months of child and pet care under my belt from helping with my cousins and watching my own pets during the day while my moms at work. I'm very good with children, everyone i've came in contact with has loved me. I used to work at a baby retail store and ocasionally had to watch a child for a parent. I'm a very open minded, non judgmental and creative person. My grades are exceptional and I'm completely open to helping little ones with the work they're struggling with!
