Hi :) I’m 23 years old and love to sing, dance, and cook! I am a non- smoker, have my own car, and am okay with animals! I am finishing up my Bachelors at Eastern Connecticut State University. I currently major in music and minor in psych. Thus, I’d say I’m a pretty fun and creative! Activities I enjoy doing with children are arts & crafts, cooking, baking, reading, board games, playing outside, watching movies, and more! All of which, of course, depending on age and the parent’s preference. I am energetic, caring, motivated, loving and responsible. My experience outside of babysitting includes watching my younger cousins, working as a counselor at summer camp, interning with a 2nd grade class, and teaching catechism. I have been babysitting for various families since I was 18, some babysitting, some nannying. I’ve watched children of all ages, up to 4 at a time, Read more and have experience with children with disabilities. Depending on the rate, I am also open to helping with laundry, dishes, cooking, vacuuming, bathing, and reorganizing (I love it!) if requested. I also have experience potty training (as young as 17 months). Other experience includes house sitting & pet sitting for families that I babysit for while they are on vacation. I’m looking to go into teaching as a career and enjoy babysitting so much because educators and babysitters and parents alike, all shape children into the people they become. I am safe, experienced, punctual, reliable, and usually available on short notice. Other services I have experience in include pet sitting, house sitting, and even being a princess at parties (see profile picture). I look forward to helping with your families needs! :)
