Hello! I am a patient, fun, loving and accountable 25 year old individual with over 8 years of experience working with children. I am CPR, WSI, and Red Cross Certified. You will find I am qualified, and, given the opportunity, will go above and beyond to make you and your children happy. A little bit about myself... I have a positive disposition and a passion for helping children grow and learn. I grew up with babysitters, and know how important it is to be playful, reliable and a good role model. I especially enjoy working with younger kids because they have entertaining imaginations, are pure and every day is different. I enjoy cooking, crafting, outdoor activities, and taking on new experiences. I am very adaptable and present; my focus remains on the child's needs, not on my phone or personal life while I am with them. My experience with childcare Read more is multi-faceted; I have been a babysitter, swim instructor, lifeguard, and occasional after school counselor. I provide a comfortable yet fun experience, and am a useful resource when it comes to academic guidance, meal prep, and any other duties needed. I spent 7 years as a counselor or “buddy” at Camp Escapades, a program for disabled children, and created an organization called “Teens in Action (TIA)” that raises money for disabled and underprivileged children. At Chadwick School, I monitored children with their homework and after school activities. I grew up doing Junior Lifeguards every summer, which eventually led me towards working as a swim instructor and lifeguard at the Palos Verdes Beach club and the USC recreational center. My ability to think on my feet, provide loving support, and ensure your child’s safety should give you piece of mind. I live on Idaho in Santa Monica and have a car with a good driving record. I am free to babysit on weeknight evenings (6PM on) and/or weekends as needed. My goal is to make you feel at ease and turn any "night out" into an enjoyable experience for your children while they stay at home. Please reach out to me 3103089456 :)
