A little bit about me

My name is Adison, and I'm a fun and structured babysitter who loves spending time with children. I am a high school graduate attending WashU for my sophomore year. Growing up my parents fostered, so I had the experience to interact with and babysit kids of all ages. I enjoyed playing that older sibling role and learned a lot of valuable skills from it. I have 3 years of babysitting experience because of this. I also completed an internship last summer, where I worked to help disabled children with their developmental process. I genuinely enjoy working with kids and helping them learn and grow. I am reliable, responsible, and always punctual. My hobbies include music, baking, and arts and crafts. Please let me know if you have any more questions for me.
I'm looking forward to having great moments with your kids!

The most important part about being a nanny...

I once worked with a nonverbal child and taught them basic sign language, starting with "more" and "please." We practiced during meals and playtime. The breakthrough moment was when the child signed "more" to ask for more juice. It was so rewarding to see them communicate independently and confidently!
