A little bit about me…
Hi, I’m Randal. I’m a fun and caring babysitter who truly enjoys spending time with kids. I focus on making children feel safe happy and comfortable while they are in my care. I enjoy playing games doing creative activities and keeping kids engaged in positive ways. I am patient and attentive and I follow routines like meals homework and bedtime. I understand that every child is different and I take time to learn what helps them feel secure. Parents can expect me to be reliable respectful and communicative. My goal is to create a warm environment where kids feel supported and parents feel confident.

A little bit about me…
I’m 19, have 11 cousins all younger than me whom I’ve babysat, paid and unpaid, from diapers to high school. I plan on working with special needs kids or kids with behavioral issues after I get my psychology degree from MSU, where I am currently a sophomore. I have a safe and reliable car from my parents and am super personable, good with people and pets. I also have had all the jobs under the sun so I’m prepared to cook and clean.
