Responsible, fun and neurodivergent babysitter
|
I am 25 years old and I have experience taking care of my 3 year old nephew, 5 year old nephew, and now 1 year old niece, one of which has Level 2 Autism and ADHD. I have been told that I manage them well, especially the two boys, because being neurodivergent myself, I am good at communicating with them. I have "high functioning" autism and so I can relate to kids with sensory needs and emotional regulation issues. I know how to cook and I cook healthy meals regularly. I believe effective communication is extremely important with children and think I do this well. I believe having a peaceful, kind but firm approach is important with children.
In my experience, children enjoy spending time with me because they don't perceive me as a boring adult, as I love being a kid and getting involved in play time :)
