A little bit about me

I absolutely love to care for kids they are the best part of our lives simple as that. I have cared for many of people's children in the past and everyone that I have worked for always had great things to say to me and about me. I absolutely love to learn new things and I absolutely love to teach anything and everything that I can to help the children widen their vocabulary and I love to read and am actually been told I'm a pretty good teacher at showing others how to read. All n all I love to care for children and out of any other job that I could be doing I would chose to take care of kids.

A little bit about me

Being a teen who wants to save up for college by babysitting means learning how to be responsible, dependable, and patient. It’s not always easy balancing school, homework, and social life with watching kids, but knowing that each hour brings you closer to your goal makes it worth it. Babysitting teaches real-life skills—like time management, communication, and problem-solving—that will help in college and beyond. Every paycheck, no matter how small, feels like an investment in your future, and there’s a sense of pride in knowing you’re working hard to take control of your dreams.

A little bit about me

Born and raised in SEMO, I'm fairly familiar with the area. I have a decade's experience working with children in mental/behavioral health from ages 4-19, as well as additional years experience with other ages, as my parents were foster parents from the time I was 12-20 years old. Experience with babies, as well! I love the kiddos and being silly with them and playing games. Can pass background check, CPR and first aid certified. I have reliable transportation, that is fully insured. I am currently attending Three River's College for business administration, and would be more than happy to discuss your needs with you to see if we are a good fit 😊 I do work part time, so I have to work around that schedule so my days are not set, but I'm happy to help any time I can!
