I helped to raise my little brothers since they were babies. One of which had ADHD and the other had leukaemia so i have faced challenges in the past which has given me lots of patience. I also have lots of experience caring for animals so can help with pets too. I am a very creative person with hobbies that include crochet, jewellery making and other arts and crafts, I can also play a few instruments. My creativity should create a fun but educational environment for children.
