I have spent the past 5 years being a babysitter and nanny to multiple different families. I have been with one family exclusively for 3 years now, and have experience with children ages 4 months to 10 years old. Working with children is an exceptionally rewarding job. I have experience with bottle prep, feeding infants, changing diapers, potty training, and meal prep for older children. In addition to these skills, I also enjoy engaging children in learning, whether it be the alphabet, numbers, or American Sign Language for communication with babies. I am comfortable with pets and have plenty of practice multitasking to interact with children while cleaning up after them. Although I have only been watching children for 5 years, I have always loved interacting with kids and teaching them new things. It is a very rewarding job that has always been an interest of mine and it is Read more something I hope to continue pursuing.
