I’m a high school senior with a strong sense of responsibility and a natural ability to care for others. I have experience looking after younger children, helping with homework, preparing meals, and keeping them engaged in fun, safe activities. I also worked as a sales associate at Frost Bake Shop, where I’ve developed strong customer service skills, attention to detail, and the ability to stay organized in a fast-paced environment. In addition, I’m comfortable caring for dogs, including feeding, walking, and basic grooming. I’m patient, dependable, and organized, with a positive attitude and strong communication skills that help me build trust with both families and those I care for.
