A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Genevieve; hiking and cooking are my two favorite things right now! I am one of 9 children and am so blessed to have come from a big family, which makes babysitting like a second nature to me;)

I have been babysitting for various families for about 5 years on and off, beginning as a sophomore in high school. In every case of care giving, it has been with more than one child and has gone awesome! So, I am very comfortable to have responsibility of more than one child. Kids are wild, free, and just fun which is what draws me into care giving. Not only this but there is so much love in their hearts, and being able to share in that is a blessing and a gift.
