Hello! My name is Dontea' and I am a college senior, studying Psychology with a minor in Spanish. I enjoy watching children and have been since a very young age. I started babysitting for family members, then neighbors, and eventually in child care services at the YMCA. I enjoy watching children of all ages; however I have the most experience with infants and toddlers. I have watched over children from 3 months old to 14 years of age. I find the most fun while babysitting when I am interacting with the child in play or anything they like to do. For example, I like to plan hands on activities (arts & crafts), or helping children with their academics, or just being their friend. I have experience in working with children who have mental illnesses, such as Downs Syndrome. I see each child for who they are regardless of any birth defects or disabilities. In most positions I had the duties of feeding the children meals, changing diapers, changing clothes, reading time, bath time, nap time, and bed time. My interests are working with families at a more personal level. After graduation I will be in a graduate program working towards a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I enjoy hanging out with my family and friends, reading, exercising, shopping, and most of all traveling. I look forward to meeting you and your family.
