A little bit about me

I’ve worked in retail for four years.
I absolutely adore kids. I’ve always been around kids of all ages growing up. I’ve babysat kids in my family plus other children as well since the age of 13. I’m smart, capable, a great problem solver and always eager to learn new things. I find that helping kids grow and learn/watching that happen is one of the most joyful things in life to be able to be apart of!
I’m also an animal lover and am okay with any pets :)

A little bit about me

I am currently a 19 year old college student! I love being a babysitter/nanny because I enjoy interacting with children and creating a fun and positive environment for them. It's definitely fulfilling to know I’m helping parents have peace of mind while their kids are in good hands. I’ve been babysitting/nannying for about 6 years. I'm happy to do whatever is needed to be done! (like helping with school work, bedtime routines, errands, etc). I’ve babysat for several families and usually take care of multiple kids at once. I’m always making sure that the kids stay engaged and safe. I’m very patient, organized, and can easily adapt to a child’s needs. I’m also very reliable and punctual. I have experience with a range of ages, so I understand the different needs and activities that each age will benefit from. I’m also comfortable managing routines and ensuring the kids I'm taking care of follow them!
