About Colleen
Experience: 3 yrs
I'm a college student, studying nursing, looking to work with children in the future. I have babysat children anywhere from the ages of 6 month-14-year-olds. I am also a party hostess for children's birthdays, so I have experience with being in charge of multiple children at once. I also know how to create a fun exciting environment for kids of all ages! I enjoy doing arts and crafts, playing sports, being outside, I would much rather be outside then sitting inside all day. I coach young cheerleaders in Ansonia from ages 6-15 years old. I love helping children with their education, reading, and writing. As long as the kids are having a good time so am I!
Most recent review
Colleen is a party hostess and cashier for me She is very friendly, organized, and attentive. She was always punctual and if she could not make a shift was responsible in finding coverage. Being a party hostess, Colleen was faced with taking charge of a group of children sometimes upwards of 20 at a time, and keeping them entertained, safe, and where they needed to be. This job requires significantly strong qualities including multitasking, organization, ability to think on the fly, and ability to adapt and adjust as needed. Furthermore this job requires someone friendly, responsible, and capable of reading children and knowing how to handle them. Colleen excelled in each of these categories. I would personally trust her with my young son should the need for a babysitter ever arise.
