What makes you uniquely qualified as a babysitter?
My perspective on childcare is very well-rounded. I grew up with babysitters almost my whole childhood, all of whom I remember- the good and the bad! I also grew up with 24 younger cousins so I was pretty much caring for children from the time I was old enough to babysit (which at the time was age 12) until the time I moved away to go to college. After I graduated from college I moved to Portland, Oregon where I held various childcare-related positions including; eco-friendly housecleaning, planning and leading activities at an assisted living home, cooking in a high volume non-profit kitchen, and as a portrait photographer for families and children of all ages and ethnicity. I decided to go back to nannying in conjunction with focusing on becoming established as a freelance photographer.
