Hello! My name is Mary and I am a freshman BA Vocal Performance and Theology double major at The Catholic University of America. I grew up with 3 brothers, two being younger than me, but professionally, I have been babysitting for 6 years now. I have sat for 1-5 kids at a time and ages ranging from a few months to 12 years old. Each time I get to go and babysit is such a blessing for me because I love to get to spend time with kids and experience their joy with them. I love seeing their art creations, hearing about their new ideas, helping them learn, and giving them assistance when they need it. I am always gentle, but know how to keep control (in a kind, but firm manner) when things go wrong or we need to get things done. Turning tasks or chores into games or Read more races are one of my specialties : ) I have been a counselor at a local Bible camp in CT for 8 years now and work with all sorts of children there, planning and playing games, helping them with anything they need, and teaching them. I've worked with kids from all sorts of backgrounds and have learned something new from each one of them. The most important thing to me when babysitting is to keep the kids safe no matter what. Safety is the main priority. But, we try to have fun as well! To close this intro, I'll share 4 of my favorite things: my Roman Catholic faith, writing music/singing, my beautiful family, and spending time outside. I currently babysit for a family with 5 children of varying ages and another family with a 2 year old. I'm training to hopefully be a mom in the future (God-willing and once I'm actually married) and love family life.
