I love playing a part in helping kids grow, play and learn! With a wide array of babysitting experience, I am a 33-year-old young professional currently available for childcare services on weekday mornings and afternoons, as well as on the weekends. During childcare, you will never find me passing the time glued to a cell phone. I enjoy arts & crafts, imaginative play, going on adventures, and turning playtime into a learning experience as well. I have a great knack for creating interactive activities and providing structure and guidance when needed. I am punctual, reliable, and value good communication with the families I work with. I have worked as a date night or last minute sitter for over 15 years and I also worked as a professional nanny for several families throughout college and graduate school. I enjoyed it immensely! Since a teenager, I have babysat for neighbors, family friends, Read more and my own 4 siblings who currently range in age from 7 to 17 years old. I would love to provide your family with a fun and honest babysitting service! Past Experience: I have worked as a professional nanny for three different families (for a total of six years) and it was a great experience. I was the director of an inner-city after-school program for children ages 5-11 for a little over three years. I have wonderful references and would be happy to supply them upon your request.
