A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am an 11 year old boy living in the Tonypandy area, I live with my parents and my older sister, and we have a cat and a dog. I am a happy loving child, I love people and have a good sense of humour. I am very active, when at home I enjoy watching my iPad, and messy play like playdough. When I go out I like to go swimming and shopping – I can occasionally run off if I see something I want, so will need someone to make sure I am safe at all times.
