I'm currently a student at UC Santa Cruz studying intensive psychology and working towards a career in child psychology and counseling. I have three younger siblings and have been babysitting and tutoring kids of all ages for over 4 years. I have experience with meal preparation, morning and nighttime routines, scheduling, homework help, discipline, and tutoring in math, writing, reading, and Spanish. I worked for the same families for years at home before I came to college, starting with my younger siblings' friends and meeting more families through recommendations. I am comfortable driving for the job and am willing to drive my own car. I am also CPR certified for adults, children and infants. Helping kids grow and learn is such a rewarding experience which is why I love babysitting and want to pursue childcare in my future career as well.
