I am currently a high school student and a responsible and reliable person who enjoys looking after both children and animals. I have experience caring for younger kids through babysitting and helping look after children for family and friends. I enjoy keeping kids entertained with activities like games, reading, and outdoor play while making sure they feel safe and comfortable.
I am also very experienced with pets, especially dogs. I have grown up with dogs for most of my life, so I am very comfortable around them and understand their needs. For the past 11 months I have been the main person responsible for taking care of my own dog, which includes feeding, walking, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise.
Through these experiences I have learned to be patient, responsible, and attentive. I always aim to create a safe, caring environment whether I am looking after children or pets.
