Hi! I am a returning college student studying animal science (previous engineer haha) I have always loved children and hope to have a child of my own someday, but since this is not the right time for me yet, I thought babysitting would be a wonderful way to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy while also helping other families. I am caring, patient, responsible, and very attentive. I also love animals, so I am very comfortable with families who have pets. I would love to be someone you can trust to care for your little ones with lots of kindness and attention! +) I can speak Korean as native level!
