Experienced babysitter
|
I have previously held a casual babysitting role for some family friends, where I babysat two children in after-school hours care. I would help them with their homework, entertain them with outdoor play and activities, care for their overall wellbeing and prepare snacks at the approval of the parents. This role reinforced life skills within myself such as patience, leadership and communication skills as I also had to communicate with the parents of the children. These were further strengthened as one of the children has down syndrome and often may have required more attention or additional needs to his sibling. This allowed me to also exercise and practise time management and adaptability to share my time and attention appropriately depending on the attitude and cooperation of the children.
