David S. - Saint Louis Babysitter

Profile of David S.

Part-Time, 10 + Years of Experience

I am a former elementary school teacher and taught for almost 20 years; working mainly with children from 5 to 12 years of age. I possess a college degree in elementary education. I also was employed in a day care center working with the 3, 4, and 5-year-old age groups, and also in a kindergarten classroom. Additionally, I cared for two girls, ages 3 and 7 for almost three years. As you can see, I have extensive experience with child care. I truly enjoy being with children and have an excellent rapport with them. I have the ability to relate to children on their level, and respect them as individuals. I am highly dependable, reliable, caring, punctual, responsible, and provide many fun activities for the children I have taught and watched. And keeping your children safe is a high priority! Additionally, I endeavor to help children learn responsibility and accountability appropriate for their age level. I have successfully used positive rewards and incentives to accomplish this goal. I have an outstanding, safe driving record and know First Aid and CPR. I know it is unusual for a male to provide this type of service, but the families I have worked for have been very pleased, and more than satisfied. I was like a member of the family!
Related Hobbies and Interests
I love to walk, read, swim, bike ride, skate, and have a strong love for science. I have a variety of other interests, and love to read stories to children. I also have a vast knowledge of computers and can assist any child with their school work.
