I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping them feel safe, heard, and valued. Kids need consistency, patience, and someone who pays attention to them, not just supervises them. I like being that steady presence. Watching children learn something new, laugh, or gain confidence is rewarding. It is not just about “babysitting” to me. It is about building trust with both the child and the family. I work in education and currently serve as a Title I paraprofessional in a sixth grade academy. I support students academically and socially every day. I also have experience working with children in different age groups through school and family settings. Because of my background in education, I am comfortable managing behaviors, supporting homework, and creating structured routines when needed. I understand how to redirect respectfully and keep expectations clear. I have classroom management skills, strong communication Read more skills, and experience supporting students with different learning needs. I am patient but firm when needed. I understand child development and how important emotional regulation and positive reinforcement are. I am trained to follow school safety procedures and maintain a safe environment. I can help with homework, prepare simple meals, create engaging activities, and maintain routines. Families can expect reliability, maturity, and professionalism.
