A little bit about me

I am a teacher looking to help families plan their summer for their children. I am willing to take children to the pool, the park, arcade, movies etc. We could also have a part of the day to read and practice math so that the children advance in those areas over the summer. Crafts and chill time are also something we could do.

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Charlotte. I am 16 years old and I pride myself on being a reliable and flexible babysitter. I have three years of experience working with children. I offer babysitting services for children of all ages, from infants to preteens. I have experience with children 3 weeks-12 years.

I am actively involved in my local church, where I volunteer up to four days a week. I work in the nursery, tending to newborns through age three, as well as assisting with youth programs for children aged three through grade eight. This has provided me with valuable experience in leading groups of children, both independently and with assistance.

Spending time with kids brings me joy, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know them. My goal is to assist parents by providing the support they need for their children's care.
