A little bit about me

I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 on and off. I currently work in a kids area at a restaurant where I do face painting and arts and crafts. Im good at making sure kids stay on task with their homework and helping them complete it if they need help. I am adept at cooking and can help meal prep for the week/school. I can help with cleaning and making sure the kid is learning to clean up after themselves. I’ve grown up with a little brother who is 7 years younger than me and have helped take care of him my whole life

A little bit about me

Hi my name is Salma and I am currently a college student. I have always loved taking care of people, specifically younger kids. I love being around people with a lot of energy and I tend to find that kids will always keep you on your toes and moving and that is definitely something I love about being a sitter. I have always been told that I have a very maternal side as I am commonly called the “mother” of the friend group due to me just always caring for and looking after my friends. I love to read and paint and that’s something I love doing with kids as I feel it allows them to be very creative and hands on. Something that sets me apart from other sitters is I am very attentive, loving, and energetic. I will always try to keep kids busy whether it be indoors our outdoors because I believe in letting kids let there energy out in fun ways while fostering an environment where kids will always learn a new skill or just have fun with what they are doing.
