I have over 6 years experience in babysitting, the children's age ranged from infant to 11 years of age, and I have cared for 4 children at a time. I have provided care for 4 infants in the past, and continued to provide care throughout their toddler years. Other children I have started providing care for when they are already toddlers, and continued to provide care for multiple years as well. One child I provided care for had ADHD, and required a special amount of patience, in which I was happy to offer. I have in the past been CPR certified, however, I will need to get re-certified. When I provide care for children, I enjoy incorporating arts and crafts, or any form of creativity. I like taking the time with the kids to create props for games or letting kids use their ideas and bring them to life. If Read more a parent is comfortable I enjoy going to the park, and letting the kids play there as well. I love kids, and genuinely enjoy being apart of a growing child's life and helping them grow. I like to take the time with homework, and reading while giving positive reinforcement and a helping hand. Parents that I provide care for always tell me how much they appreciate me, and how great I am with their children. I do not have any children of my own, I am 21 and am completing school. However, I started babysitting when I was about 15, and began providing nanny services for a sick mother with a new infant at age 16. I am a reliable, intelligent, fun loving person who would be a great caregiver for any child.
