Hi - My name is Sterling, and I'm currently a student at Canada College. I am offering child care. I am good with kids, but usually babysit my aunts three kids, ages 3, 7, and 10, as well as help with their puppy. However, I've babysat kids in my family and around my neighborhood on and off since I was 16. I can also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I am comfortable with animals in general, as I have two cats of my own; however, I am afraid of bigger dogs ( especially if they slobber a lot), spiders, and reptiles.
