Hi! My name is Christian but I also go by Azariah. I am currently studying at KSU, and am looking for a side gig to allow me to still work as I go to school.

I have also had professional experience as a baby sitter since the age of 13. I have handled kids with disabilities as well as adults. I have a cat of my own so I am well versed with taking care of animals. I am a very hands on person so I try to help kids with learning as well as school work. I am also a big foodie and love to cook, the more people the better. I do have a driver's license as well so I can run errands and the like.
