My name is Mei-Li, I am a recent graduate from University of Oregon. I recently moved to Virginia for a job. I have years of experience working with kids from infant to middle school. I attended a summer camp and helped foster an environment for kids of all ages and personalities to express themselves and learn life skills. I have babysat for friends and neighbors. I was 15 when my brother was born and helped care for him since then. I am fluent in Chinese and can play 6 musical instruments. I am a responsible, reliable, flexible, easygoing, and trustworthy person. I grew up with a cat and dog and love animals. I am willing to help out anywhere I am able to. I am CPR/First Aid certified.
