A little bit about me

I'm in college for Art Education and Psychology degrees to become an art therapist for children. I've worked in a nursery of children 10 months to 5 years old for 2.5 years and have been babysitting since I was 12. I love working with children and finding fun activities to do with the kids. I'm not very athletic, but I am completely willing to take the kids on walks and play games of tag. I am very artistic and will come up with or bring crafts for the kids and I to do.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Finley, I’m a sophomore in High School and looking for a couple of frequent families who need babysitters for an occasional night out or afterschool care.
I have 3 brothers, two of which are younger, and many cousins so I have lots of experience with childcare. Along with my large family, I frequently babysat for a family in my area for about a year and a half.
I am big on doing interactive arts and crafts, playing board games, going on bike rides/walks, and playing outside with the kids instead of just being on screens. However, I think an occasional movie or show is fine!
If you are interested please reach out to me :)
