I first started babysitting at age 9 when my sister was born with my older sister and have been doing it ever since. I have watched all ages of children from 3 days old-16 years old. I have experience with children of many different dietary needs, learning disabilities, deaf and legally blind. I enjoy being active with children and going outdoors to parks, pools, and playgrounds as much as possible to make sure they are not simply cooped up in the house all day long and are getting adequate fresh air and able to run around and socialize with other children. I am very experienced with cooking well balanced meals that children love (sometimes tolerant as not everyone loves Brussels sprouts) and I encourage healthy lifestyles as I am currently working on my nutrition and personal training degrees. I am able to be re-certified in first aid, aed, and life Read more guarding if requested. I am also currently brushing up on both Spanish and French, my family speaks both and I was fluent in both as an adolescent. I am more than happy and qualified to teach the basics to children as I have actively been doing with the family I nanny for now. Please let me know if there are any questions and I will answer them as quickly as possible. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
