A little bit about me
I have more than 12+ years of experience
My mom is a housekeeper and she taught me a lot about what it takes to keep a place clean and how to be responsible when babysitting/raising children. She raised an independent warrior who never gave up, even through multiple hardships.
Due to my past, I’m all about protecting children. I express love & I discipline with a positive attitude. I have patience for children, however, I don’t tolerate disrespect from children. I come from a background where we respect our elders, we help those in need, we stay humble, & we show gratitude.
I’m an outdoorsy person, I love hiking, kayaking, golfing & biking. When I’m babysitting, its sky zone, a park, a playground, arts & crafts, reading books, implementing education into my shift, and many more ideas.
I currently work at a sporting goods store as a full-time manager. However, I do miss babysitting. I stopped when I miscarried.
I can work 1-2 days a week. Maybe 3, depends on the time.
