A little bit about me
-I love being a babysitter because I think it's incredibly important for children to feel safe and comfortable, especially in times their parent cannot be the one to provide it. I take great pride in keeping the children in my care safe and happy.
-From ages 16-18 I worked for a few families for sporadic events between 3-10 hours at a time. For the summers and winters of [phone number hidden], I worked full time on my breaks from University for one family with 3 children, aged 2-6 when I first began.
-I once was CPR trained and would be willing to get recertified. I also am a Biology major, 2 months away from completing my degree. This is a pre-med degree, so I have taken many courses on human development, health and safety, as well as education and special education, all of which I think make me uniquely qualified to help care for someone. Moreover, I have been a teacher for over 2 years now, so I have experience with all ages and large groups.
