Hi I’m Portia! I have had experience caring for kiddos of all ages for ages 10 years! I’ve done things from consistently babysitting for a family, drop off/pick up, swim lessons and overnight babysitting jobs! I was an older step sisters to twins for six years! I truly think I’m able to connect emotionally with children of all ages but especially with young kiddos. From teaching swim lessons for 4 years I am able to slow myself down to meet their needs. I am very comfortable caring for multiple children at once as well as experience with newborns, toddlers and older kiddos! I was a lifeguard/swim instructor for 4 years and an cpr and first aide certified. When babysitting I like to make sure I leave the space cleaner than it was before as well as engaging with the kids instead of screen time. I have a lot of open Read more availability and would love to come for an in person interview!
