Hi, my name is Sofia Ramirez, I am 17 year old and currently a senior. I have had experience with children from a very young age watching my three siblings. I am the oldest child, so I have had the responsibility of taking care of kids from 0 months old to 13 years old for most of my life. I also babysat my neighbors kids a lot until I got another job. I was a lifeguard for 3 years, where I got CPR certified for adults and kids. I also got first aid trained and how to respond to lots of dangerous situations like choking, allergic reactions, burns, broken bones, and more. I have also had a pet dog that I love very much for 5 years and work very well with pets. I am looking to become a babysitter, pet sitter, or house sitter to save up money for college. I believe that I strive in this field of work and would love to make a good impact.
