Hi, my name is Jeimmy, I'm 31 years old, and I'm a mom to a 13-year-old princess. I've been babysitting young children under 9 since I was 16, though all of that has been in my home country. Here, I've only babysat one little girl for two months and occasionally looked after some friends' babies. I'm patient, polite, friendly, and above all, careful.
It will be a pleasure to offer my services; my only problem is that I don't speak much English, I'm still learning.

A little bit about me

I’m a patient, caring, and easygoing person who kids tend to feel comfortable around. I stay calm and positive in all situations while still being responsible and dependable. I enjoy working with kids because of their energy and creativity, and I like helping them learn, stay engaged, and feel safe and supported.
