I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel supported. Building positive relationships with children and their families is incredibly rewarding, and I enjoy creating fun, engaging activities while providing a safe and caring environment. I have over 5 years of childcare experience working with children of various ages, including babysitting and working within a school district. My experience includes supervising playtime, preparing meals and snacks, helping with homework, supporting daily routines, and ensuring children are safe, happy, and well cared for. I am currently pursuing a degree in Social Work, which has strengthened my understanding of child development, communication, empathy, and family support. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. With my childcare experience, educational background, and school district work, I have developed strong skills in behavior guidance, problem-solving, and building positive relationships with children and families. I am reliable, patient, and committed to providing a nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun
