For the past eight years, I have served as a babysitter for numerous families—for which I am happy to provide references—including children from infancy through age 14. From preparing snacks and changing diapers to helping with homework and ensuring overarching safety, I have proven myself to be enthusiastic and supportive in every aspect of caring for children. Furthermore, I have experience helping children through separation anxiety, using distraction and refocussing techniques to help kids through those tough emotions. I am a Theatre student which is where I have learnt ways of stress relief and activities to enhance verbal and physical communication in young children. Along with my experience and education, I have also completed basic CPR and AED training and possess a deep understanding of first aid supplies and techniques. These attributes, complemented by my outgoing and communicative nature, are sure to make a positive impression on parents and caregivers. My child care skills and experience, along with my positive attitude and friendly nature, position me to excel in these roles.
