Hello my name is Agioulaye Jagne and I am 20 and from a young age I have always had a love for children, my family would always refer to me as a "baby whisperer
" because of my ability to nurse crying babies back to sleep in an instant. I have also noticed the sudden attachment children would have with me and have always loved that.
When it comes to being a baby sitter I always have a schedule that will help me in organising my day and ensuring I give the best care to the child. I understand that children can be unpredictable and that it is not always easy, that's why I have patience when it comes to children and understand that I have to remain calm in any situation I am presented with . Being vigilant and paying attention to close detail has always been a trait of mine when it comes to being around children, ensuring that they are safe is always the number one goal.
