I like keeping a place neat and organized and I also have a basic knowledge of automotive. I grew up in a family of six kids and love being with people. I grew up in a home that you didn't yell scream or swear. My parents never did that to us and we learned to respect them for it. I use that same style. I think that the best way to care for children is by being straight forward but not insulting or demeaning. Being a role model and setting the example by actions is the best.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: No  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets:   Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check:   Eligible to work in the U.S.:   Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Latter-Day Saints        Work Experience & Education Background   9 years experience, 4 references I have been babysitting since I can remember.
