Hello! My name is Grace and I'm a student at the University of Minnesota! I work with kids for my university job and am frequently responsible for their care. In high school I also babysat for as young as 3 years old around my community. I am a good cook, love to hang out and play games, and have animals at my apartment so I'm more than comfortable with a few furry friends :)
