  About Me
 
I am a very friendly, fun, outgoing and engaging person. I am very caring and always responsible. I love kids and I love having fun with them. I am flexible and am willing to do all sort of activities with kids from the library or museum to the beach or park. I am good with homework and other sorts of help.

I used to teach swim lessons for 2-3 year olds when I was a lifeguard. My favorite part of the job was watching a young child learn something I taught them and then be able to do it. I was also a camp counselor and youth group leader and I consider myself to be a pretty good role model. I am also the oldest of three girls. I have been babysitting since middle school. I am very easy-going and love to have fun with the kids. I do not have a particular "style". I just go with whatever the parents tell me to do.
