I have 6 siblings, 4 sisters and 2 brothers. My parents are divorced, they had their ups and many downs. So I can honestly I raised my 15 yr. old sister, 14 yr. old sister & 9 yr. old brother. My older brother is 21 but he lives his own life now with his son. A few years later, my mother had two more little girls, who I adore with all my heart, a 1 yr. old and a 2 yr. old from another man. Everyday when I came from work, I taught them their Abc's, the itsy bitsy spider and to count to 10. I have a video that proves that my 2 yr. old sister knows these three subjects. I am great with children. I love to be outdoors, I love to run, play soccer, volleyball and tennis. I just got married to a Marine 2 weeks ago and had to move up here in Jacksonville, NC. I have been looking for a job and I would really appreciate for the opportunity to take on this responsibility. I may be young, but I guarantee you, I am more mature then I look. I intend to continue my studies. I am a patient care technician, I do have a certificate to prove it. I volunteered to work in a nursing home for my clinical hours and loved it.
