I am great with kids and currently have two boys considered as my nephews ages 7 and 3, whom I babysit when I go out to visit them at their home.

If you have activities you know they love to do, and that you wish for them to continue I am great at adapting and learning new things and having just as much fun as they do. I have had animals all my life, from dogs to cats, guinea pigs to birds, and each have had a different personality that I have been able to handle with pleasure, from the energetic bouncing off the walls to the lazy couch potatoes.
