A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Jarah. I’m 17 (turning 18 soon), and I’ve always had a passion for caring for children. I have experience babysitting my sister’s kids and her friends’ children, including one child on the high spectrum of autism. That experience helped me grow more patient, understanding, and creative when it comes to supporting different needs.

I was also part of a childcare program at my school, where I learned more about early childhood development and how to keep kids safe, happy, and engaged. I love planning fun activities, helping with routines, and being someone kids can feel comfortable around.

I’m responsible, dependable, and love creating a positive environment for children to grow in. I’m excited to work with a family who’s looking for a caring and energetic sitter!
