I started working with kids when I went too college, and needed few credits for a class. Ended up doing credits at local Preschool and haven't left since! I am now a teacher assistant and I love it with my whole heart.
I am a responsible adult and get along with children well. Although I don't have much experience babysitting I am confident it is something I could do and enjoy.
