My parents are high school sweethearts, and they are still married today. I believe that growing up with parents who have a solid relationship builds a great foundation for bringing up children. Therefore, with that said, I am 26 years old, very responsible, respectful and respected, reliable, loyal, and playful around children. I just moved back to Bakersfield from San Diego in March 2016 to live with my parents. My parents act like my friends and joke around; therefore, we have a good relationship. I do not have children of my own; however. I have experience taking care of small children recently. For the past four years I have visited a friend many times, and she has her own kids and grandchildren in her home visiting as well. Her grandkids vary from age 4 mos-10 yrs. I have been outside to play basketball with them, run around, pick them up, tickle, etc. However, most recently I relocated to San Diego in October and lived with a middle school friend. She has twins (boy & girl) and at the time I moved down south they were 10 mos old. Although I visited often, it was the first time I would live with babies. Moreover, my responsibilities consisted of watching them consistently because they learned how to walk and ran everywhere. Of course I changed diapers and prepared their meals, but the most enjoyable moments were when we played together. Also I am certified by the National CPR Foundation in first aid and CPR. Also, I am Diabetic, but do take care of myself so I can perform my duties to the fullest. To tie in with that, some dislikes would have to be: very few fried foods, and long and excessive workouts/exercise. Otherwise, there aren't too many things that I don't like that I can think of immediately. I have two main hobbies that I think are somewhat different than anyone else; taking road trips or just take a drive around town, and to watch documentaries. Moreover, I am a very ethically-driven person. As I worked for the same company for nearly 8 years, I have experience with others depending and relying on me. The skills I learned while being employed taught me a little bit more about responsibility. Meaning, I carry out my duties. I love children, and if I can handle deadlines and take care of twins, then I don't think taking care of children is a problem.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: English, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Yes  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Single  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   1 years experience, 2 references I have had 5 months of experience living with a friend who had twins.
