I am the oldest of six children. I have spent my entire life caring for younger children and serve as a role model daily. I have babysat for friends of the family and find that I get along well with children, they acclimate to me well. I believe that as an 18-year-old, I am old enough to be trusted with the responsibility of watching after children and am also young enough to be able to keep up with and entertain them. I love to be around children and to be the reason for the smile on their face.
Last summer, I babysat on call for several different families for children ranging from 1-12 years old. All of the families that I have worked for have requested my services again later and have, I believe, enjoyed working with me.
During this past year I worked in Knoxville while there for college. I met several families in Knoxville who I really enjoyed working with! One family permitted me to watch the children for several overnights, an experience which I had only had babysitting for family previously. I really enjoy babysitting for this family of four and still sit for the family. Another family introduced me as the first non-family member sitter to their adorable 2-year-old. The mother and I had an interview in the beginning to make sure that she felt comfortable with me as the first person she trusted with her child at home. Luckily for me, she did and I have loved my time with them!
Now, I am returning home for the summer and would love to provide child care! This summer, I will be working as a waitress on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays which is my only limitation on scheduling. I will also be taking classes at Chattanooga State, but I believe they will be primarily online classes. If you are interested, I am looking forward to meeting you and working with your family!
