A little bit about me…

Hi! I’m Jackie! I’m 18 and am currently in esthetician school but am available after school around 5-5:30 Tuesday- Friday! I am a high energy, patient and non-judgmental person! When I babysit, your child is my #1 priority and will do everything in my power to keep them safe, happy and healthy! I love doing activities like painting, coloring, playing with airdry clay, anything really! But am also very chill aswell so if they just want to eat dinner and watch a movie or just with their toys we can do that do!! I hope you consider me as your babysitter! Have a wonderful day!
