Hi! I‘m Emma. I am a german-american college student and just moved here recently from Germany, where I grew up. Back home I babysat for my neighbours for 4 years. When I started babysitting the oldest one was 1 1/2 years old and when his younger sister was born I looked after them both.

Me gusta ser responsable y dedicada con mi trabajo, adaptada a seguir instrucciones según los objetivos de cada familia. Amo y disfruto mi trabajo con bebés y niños! E logrado cuidar hasta 2 y 3 niños al mismo tiempo, mi experiencia a mejorado mucho con niños de 0 a 3 años, pero en realidad la edad no es problema, estoy adaptada a viajar con niños, conducirlos a escuela o tareas extra como deportes y más!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Gabriella, but I go by Ellie. I am currently a 19-year old first year at SBCC. I am studying Biological Sciences, where I hope to then be an EMT in the near future. I grew up as the middle child of 5 siblings, therefore I enjoy and am very comfortable with being around kids and keeping them entertained. As well as caring for my younger siblings, I worked as a babysitter throughout high school, whereI cared for kids from the ages of 1-10.
