Experience: 17 yrs
Nurturing young minds is truly a passion of mine. My 17 years of experience caring for children have solidified my desire to positively impact their lives, building upon positive experiences in previous babysitting roles. I am patient, creative, and approachable, and I enjoy engaging children with board games, puzzles, and educational activities. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and happy to provide cooking and meal preparation, light housekeeping, carpooling, travel assistance, and swimming supervision. Communication is key, and I provide regular updates via text or phone call, adapting to your preferred method. I hold current First Aid Training and CPR Training, and I've completed Early Child Development Coursework. I am comfortable caring for one child. Knowing that I can contribute to a happy and healthy childhood brings me immense joy.
