I grew up with two older sisters and a younger brother. My dad worked 12+ hours a day and my mom worked a full time job as well. So I first started watching my little brother when I was around 10 with my older sisters. As they got older the responsibility became all mine since they wanted to go out with their friends. When I was 12 my oldest sister had a son who I looked after while she was at work, and when I was 15 my second sister had a son. I watched him on a daily basis while she attended evening classes at BTI. I still watch both of my nephews as needed to this day. When I was 13 my mom opened her own childcare center where I worked as an assistant for 5-6 years before moving onto a Sales Associate position for the extra $1. 50/hour. Though that only lasted about a year till I was diagnosed with Pancreatitis and stepped down from my position to recover. I am now trying to find work somewhere outside of retail and was suggested babysitting since I have been watching children for half my life. I have a clean background and while I know some people might think it's odd for a male to babysit, it's what I have been exposed to since I was young so it is what I have experience in.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: No  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   9 years experience, 1 references Seven years of babysitting my oldest sister's son as needed.
