I think my best quality is that I am a big kid! Luckily I’ve had the chance to babysit all through college so I’ve been able to have my coloring and cartoon outlet! Also didn’t you mean 564? I got excited for the apron for a minute! :)

my favorite quality is my ability to think quickly on my toes – it’s helped small problems from escalating on several occasions!

also, out of total curiosity – how tall are you?
