A little bit about me

Hello! My name is April and I am a junior at Washburn University. I have been babysitting since I was in my preteens, and also have experience working for a babysitting company (Sitting Made Simple). I am majoring in Social Work and am looking to get back to working with children since moving to Topeka. While I find that I connect easier with shy kiddos, everyone I babysit always has a fun and safe time with me! I am CPR and First Aide certified and have experience working with children with disabilities. I am also willing to help with transportation, tutoring, light housework, and pets.
