A little bit about me

I do love children, I am always gentle, I am never harsh on anyone, I have not been a baby sitter before, but I have volunteered in many places where I had to work with kids so I do have experience in child care, and in my ethnic community where we usually host gatherings with, they have tons of kids and me and the other older girls have to take care of them and make sure their not wrecking anything and that they are safe. I am very observant, I have great problem solving skills, if shown/given the materials, I will cook, clean, do anything to take care of whoever I am babysitting and if I have any instructions given, I will strictly follow that and will contact you if anything is wrong. I am someone who makes sure the parent(s) of the child feels safe with me babysitting their child, I would never do something wrong or something I wasn’t supposed to do intentionally, and I do learn very quick. I will always ask for permission before doing something.
