I've been babysitting since I was a freshman in high school. All of my babysitting jobs were 2+ years as needed and my most recent job I had been a babysitter for a family with an infant and middle school age child. I worked for them for approximately 4 and a half years until the husband's mother moved in with them. I miss them terribly but still keep in touch. :) The only reason I ever stopped working for a family was because one of their children was old enough and no longer required a babysitter. I love to come up with creative activities to keep the children I babysit entertained and happy no matter what age the child was. I also provided homework help, drove them to sports' practices, took them to the park, did overnights, cooked, cleaned and did laundry as needed. Currently I work in retail where Read more I am a manager and have been working for the company for over 8 years. I also have a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice and have gone through First Aid and CPR certification. My hours are flexible and given enough notice I can request off. For a full time babysitting or nannying position I would have open availability. I genuinely love working with kids as I'm sure everyone else states on here but I really do care about making sure the children have fun and rules set by the parents are followed. I think as a babysitter it is extremely important to treat each kid as an individual and essentially earn their respect no matter how old they are. From being the oldest of 4 kids I know an activity that would enter a 4 year old probably won't entertain an 8 year old so I make sure I am conscious of that. I've done pizza nights where I made pizza with the kids, cookie decorating, balloon decorating, tshirt decorating, and many other activities too! I am completely willing to do light housework after the kids go to bed too whether it's laundry, kitchen work or anything else needed. I have experience babysitting autistic children, children with ADHD and other learning disabilities as well. Pay wise I'm flexible too depending on the circumstances. If you have any other questions feel free to contact me! References available upon request.
