My name is Isra . I am a 19 year old, part-time working, college student. I have experience when it comes to children, meaning watching my families children on a needed basis. I have watched multiple children at a time ages ranging from 6 month to 15 years. I am very flexible when it comes to parents and what they want for their kids. I would contact parents with updates, unless parents suggest to be contacted on an emergency basis. I am willing to work on homework with children, do feedings, diaper changes, bath-times, and bedtime. Upon the parents request I can also do simple task around the house such as cleaning up, doing dishes, picking up after the children and a reasonable amount of laundry. I believe for that to be up to the parents.
