Sitter in Orleans, Ontario

I am currently enrolled (first year) at Algonquin in the Child and Youth Care Practitioner program. I am the oldest (19) of 5 siblings (a split family; 5, 6, 9,...) and the godmother of a 2 year old. Due to the circumstances at the time, I played a large role in the raising of two of my sisters as early as newborns, starting around the age of about 7. I've always been known as being wise beyond my years, and very mature. I'm energetic, enthusiastic, I love being around people and children in particular. I enjoy being outdoors, doing crafts, and being creative in general. I was the captain of my high school soccer team, so I believe I possess strong leadership skills. I am good at taking directions, but also very good at taking initiative. I am a very tidy, and organized person, and actually find joy in cleaning.
