Meet Mercedes

  • Speaks English
  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I am the eldest of 5 siblings so I have many years of experience and have worked with kids of all ages, girls and boys. I also have experience volunteering with an after school program to watch over and entertain kids with crafts and activities. On top of my experience with babysitting, I am an active person. I used to play basketball, soccer, and work out at the gym so I won't have any problem keeping up with your energetic and lively kids and/or pets. I have also had pets in my family have it be cats, dogs, hamsters, fish or birds, so I don't have any allergies towards your furry family member. Meal time/snack time is no problem as I have tons of ideas for healthy snacks and meals that are enjoyable for the kiddos to eat.
