“ Ever since I can remember I've been surrounded by children. Whether it was my family, my church community or simply my neighborhood. Since 8th grade I've been a paid babysitter. My first job consisted of babysitting a 4-year-old after school everyday until the parents returned from work. From then on I've babysat for about 10 different families, some up to 5 kids.

Ever since I can remember I've been surrounded by children. Whether it was my family, my church community or simply my neighborhood. Since 8th grade I've been a paid babysitter. My first job consisted of babysitting a 4-year-old after school everyday until the parents returned from work. From then on I've babysat for about 10 different families, some up to 5 kids. The ages have varied from babies to middle school-ers. At this point I am extremely comfortable with all ages of children. I absolutely adore them. I've been recommended for many of the jobs I've gotten by other families, not only because of my experience but my commitment and passion for the kids themselves as well. I also have a 2-year-old nephew who I'm regularly visiting, and he's become a huge part of my life. I love being an auntie! I am 100% dedicated to playing and interacting with the children to make their time with me fun too. My mother works with special-ed children at a school and I fully understand the importance of making connections and interacting with children in different ways no matter what they're doing. I babysat for a family who had a child with a speech impediment and learning disability last summer and by the end of the summer, (along with a paid tutor) I helped her speak better and got her to enjoy saying new words.
I do crafts, games, and I love the outdoors! I'm very active and believe it's important to stay healthy. This fits in well with babysitting when it comes to feeding the kids right and ensuring they get outside to play as well. Also, I'm going into the medical field so I have a passion for people, especially kids. I am currently attending college to obtain a nursing degree and I plan to go further and hopefully get into medical school. My dream is to be a doctor!
