BIO I have grown up looking after my younger brother whenever my parents needed me to. I have also spent many volunteer hours at the YMCA Learning Center for the 5-year-old age groups. I spent a summer volunteering at a summer school program that gave me the opportunity to work closely with many young children with intellectual disability. I also have experience in many different babysitting jobs over the past 10 years, babysitting only children, multiple siblings, etc. ages ranging from 1-12. I love interacting with kids of all ages in fun ways that are also good for their development! I am friendly, caring, extremely responsible, and always put the child's safety and well-being first.
