I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy watching children grow, learn, and experience life. Every child is unique, and I find joy in being part of their development and helping them feel safe and supported. I’ve worked at a daycare for six years, caring for children of various ages and abilities. My experience includes creating fun, safe environments, helping with routines, and supporting children’s emotional and social needs. I am going into special education, so I have training in working with diverse learners and supporting children with special needs. I’ve learned how to be patient, observant, and nurturing, and I know how to manage behavior in a positive and respectful way. I am a very out going and happy person. My number one priority is to keep the children happy and safe.
