I love helping my community, as well as my friends and family with their children as well, I am the youngest of 10 children and all of my siblings have had babies ranging from ages 14 and the youngest 3months. So i like to say i’m not new to this, i’m true too it lol. I also have worked part-time at a daycare where I cared for toddlers and kids a bit older. I currently go to GRCC in plans for an associates degree in Radiology/ Ultrasound Technician. And I am currently looking for either a part-time or full-time babysitting job.
I am open to babysitting kids ages 0 - 12years. I understand the importance of a schedule, especially with school seasons being here.
• Meal prepping and planning
• After-school activities/ School time pickups
• Light cleaning around the home/chores
• I love interacting and being around children
• Able to follow and keep at home schedules

A little bit about me
Hello, Im Danielle. I am a mother to a 13 year old boy, who enjoys reading, hockey, and my cats. I started babysitting when I was 10 years old, and have worked in the field on and off since then. I have worked with children of all ages, including new borns.
I own my own business, and spend a lot of time working from home. I would love to help out a family during the day, and spend time looking after one or more children.
