A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Allison and I’m currently living in Ithaca, NY.

I’ve been babysitting occasionally for five years, and have been surrounded by young children in my family for as long as I can remember.

I love being outside and teaching children about plants, animals, and the stars. I enjoy cooking and baking with no recipe. I’m very energetic and always singing a tune or listening to music.

I’m looking for more experience babysitting because taking care of & teaching/learning from children is one of the things I’m most passionate about.

I’m new to finding families online, so if you have questions that weren’t covered in this little intro don’t be afraid to ask!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Addison, I'm 19 years old and currently a student at Cornell University.

I have 3 years of experience as an in-cabin camp counselor for girls ages 7-12 at a sleepaway camp.
While there I also assisted with babysitting infants and toddlers on their nannys' days off.

I also have experience babysitting three kids aged 2, 4, and 6, helping their grandmother look after them and keeping them entertained.
I am very responsible and am a hard worker.

I'd describe my personality as genuine, calm, and empathetic.

I'm looking for a job that can accommodate a student schedule and is within walking/bus distance of campus.

I started working with kids in the summer of 2022.

In my spare time, I like to watch sports, take photos, write, read and take walks around campus.

One thing you should know about me is I am First Aid/AED/CPR Certified for Adults and Children.
