A little bit about me

I’m an upcoming sophomore at Xavier University of Louisiana with several years of experience caring for children through babysitting for family and family friends, working at Sky Zone, and serving as a teacher assistant. Many people have told me I’m great with kids, which encouraged me to begin looking for babysitting opportunities professionally.

As the oldest of 12 siblings, I’ve gained a lot of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages. I’m comfortable with everything from changing diapers and preparing meals to helping with homework, assisting with learning activities, playing games, and keeping kids entertained in a safe and positive environment. My experience as a teacher assistant also helped me develop patience, communication skills, and the ability to work well with children in both fun and structured settings. I’m dependable, energetic, nurturing, and truly enjoy supporting children and helping families however I can.
