A fresh graduate of highschool who’s looking to take any and all types of sitting jobs. I’ve had pets almost all my life and at some points was the only carer for said pets. I’m also the oldest of 5 so babysitting children is very familiar with me including cooking, caring, playing, and putting to bed as well as changing diapers and outdoor activities. My mother has always described me as a natural at taking care of children and that kids often tend to gravitate towards me and my energy
