I am a Graduate Student currently in my second year of a Doctorate of Physical Therapy program. I have been babysitting children of all ages intermittently for the last 12 years. I was originally interested in teaching, so I have experience in a variety of different educational settings and I have a degree in Spanish. Now, as a physical therapy student, my focus is on health and wellness and I have an interest in working in pediatric physical therapy. I love to have fun, do art projects, and be active and these are my philosophies for child care as well. I've cared for children of all ages - from triplets to toddlers. My proudest babysitting memory is when I was caring for a child who was in the midst of potty training. It was my first time babysitting for this family and the little boy told me he had to Read more use the potty and proudly showed me his training potty. He successfully used the toilet on his own, which I reported to his parents. They were ecstatic, saying he had never done that before! Could I come everyday for potty-training?
