  About Me
 
I am a very mature college graduate who loves children of all ages. I grew up looking after my own younger siblings and have been babysitting for other families from the age of 11. I also am a fantastic, healthy cook (if I do say so myself. ) and would be more than happy to prepare meals for both you and your children if that is something you are interested in. I am well-spoken, patient, timely, fun-loving and energetic. I also have never been pulled over and drive reliable hybrid car. Most of all I take direction very well and have the utmost respect for parents and families of all kinds. I can tailor my attitude towards your family's needs. I have no problem calmly enforcing any existing household rules but I can also simply be a fun and responsible companion for kids young and old. I have experience with both only children and larger families, so I am comfortable with sibling issues (as I have 2 myself). Organization, safety and health are my key priorities.
