I've had experience looking over children given I have befriended multiple friends who happen to be parents and they always trusted me to look after them. And I've played cat sitter before, did a good job of it all. Even managed to help a mother cat.

In that same area, I even managed to house sit for a couple while they were in the hospital. They were more than pleased how well I kept the fort. And I'm also autistic. So I can easily connect with autistic children.
