A little bit about me

Hello! My name is GeneA, I’m 23 years old and I was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. I started babysitting when I was 13 years old for my mothers in home daycare business back in 2015 and I absolutely adored it. Fast forward to 2023 I started working for A daycare that ranged from 3 month old babies to 5 year old children and from there I always made sure I stayed in childcare because I learned so much about how to care for children and how to prepare them for new chapters in their lives while being safe and having fun!

A little bit about me

I am looking to babysit while I look for a full time job. My son just turned three and would have to come with me to babysit. I am a certified medical assistant with experience in pediatrics and adult care and I am CPR certified. I have also worked with children with autism and difficult behaviors (such as ADHD, ODD, and OCD). I believe that with understanding, patience and kindness to meet them where they are at I can help them learn new skills. We are new to the area and only have one car at the moment so I would love a few hour jobs during the work day if possible.
