Hello! My name is Serena Cadena, and I am an enthusiastic and responsible babysitter with a genuine love for children. With 2 years of experience at Castilleja Summer Camp, I have honed my skills in providing a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for children of various age groups. My commitment to their well-being, coupled with my friendly and patient nature, allows me to create meaningful connections and build trust with both the children and their families. I have 5 years of experience working as a babysitter, caring for children ranging from toddlers to pre-teens. During this time, I have developed a solid understanding of child development stages and appropriate activities to promote their growth. I prioritize the safety and well-being of the children under my care. I am trained in lifeguarding, first aid and CPR, ensuring that I can handle emergencies with calmness and efficiency. I am also familiar with Read more childproofing techniques and take proactive measures to maintain a secure environment. I believe in providing children with stimulating and enjoyable experiences. I engage them in age-appropriate activities, such as arts and crafts, storytelling, educational games, and outdoor play. I strive to foster their creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving skills through interactive and fun methods. Effective communication is essential when working with children and their families. I maintain open and honest communication, actively listening to the needs and concerns of both parents and children. I provide regular updates on activities, milestones, and any notable occurrences during my time with the children. Parents can depend on me to be punctual, responsible, and dedicated to my role as a babysitter. I maintain a high level of professionalism and respect for the families' privacy. I am committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, valued, and loved.
