A little bit about me

I was raised by a hardworking single mom, and growing up I spent a lot of time with a babysitter who made learning fun through STEM activities, games, and creative play. That experience really shaped my love for working with children and creating a positive, engaging environment for them. I started babysitting as soon as I was old enough and have loved it ever since. Last year, I regularly babysat once a week for a family with three children ages 5 and up, and I have also been babysitting for another family with three children ages 4–7 for about two years whenever they need me. I’m responsible, patient, and love building strong connections with kids while keeping them entertained, active, and cared for. I also enjoy cooking and am happy to help prepare meals and snacks for families.
