I love babysitting children especially during the summer.breaks , I’m currently in college.I always invented creative and fun games, and I find that children have always connected to my personality and my exciting spirit. I love being a nanny; it is the most rewarding and fulfilling job out there. Children are a delightful gift: they bring so much joy to my heart and make every day so much better. Babysitting is one of those rare jobs that people actually enjoy. You can look forward to it. If you love kids then caring for children doesn’t feel like work.With the right approach you can turn mundane tasks into exciting games to motivate children and get jobs done. And you're allowed to be silly to make kids laugh. I am friendly with kids. I understand the use of positive and polite language in front of kids for their psychological development. I know Read more when a child needs special attention. I can make crying kids laugh in a minute. I believe in spending time with kids in a productive way by engaging them in activities which involve learning and development of mind as well as healthy growth.I love what I do, and I love children. I found a career that is enriching and full of wonderful surprises. I am truly happy when I wake up and know that my day will begin and end with a smile.
