I'm a very loving, patient and vivacious individual and love being around people and caring for them! I'm a singer and musician as well as a student at West Valley. I played, watched and cared for kids and infants in Sunday school at church starting at the age of 8. By about 12 or 13 I began being paid to watch kids on my own. I've worked with children of all ages, 1-13, and cared for the strong willed and the sensitive souls as well. I've babysat for 11 children so am easily able to provide order but of course know how to have fun as well! I know when to be firm and when to give grace according to a child's needs. I also take into account how the parents want to raise their child and will respect the rules of the house. I love to bring out the Read more best in a child and to provide a safe, loving and of course fun environment. I love boys and girls, they are both wonderful! I have also provided transportation by driving kids to events and have done housecleaning. I also enjoy cooking! It is definitely a hobby of mine so your kids will not go hungry! In fact probably the opposite! I enjoy being active so having kids that love to be outside won't be a problem. Staying inside and reading books, playing games and puzzles is also enjoyable! I have also had experience caring for children with Asperger's syndrome and am easily able to handle them with patience and understanding. The most important thing is to develop a healthy, loving and trusting relationship with kids, to learn how to love the individual child and to be a part of their growth.
