Hi! My name is Presley! I'm a college student & I'm looking to be a child sitter on the side. Over the past several years I've watched my niece, younger cousins, and several family friends.
I'd describe my personality as caring, open minded, hard working
I like working with kids because they keep things fun. Some of the best conversations are at the dinner table with an 8-year-old.
I'm looking for a job that cares about me and my priorities as I do for theirs.
