Hello there, I have extensive experience in working with children in a professional capacity. My experience includes working as a preschool teacher in a head start program for four years. I also had the pleasure to open up my home daycare for a duration of eight years. I, however, have decided to move on since my children are moving out and going away to college, and I do not have the need to be at home for my children as often as I did before. I enjoy working with children and find it to be an incredibly rewarding experience. I know that I have all the necessary qualities that make a good babysitter. I make sure that when I am working, I take great care and exercise all the precautionary measures to ensure the safety of the children. I also make sure the children are engaged and interested in educational Read more activities. I am multi-skilled, and I am delighted to teach your children activities that will develop their gross and fine motor skills, as well as enhance their language development during the time that I will spend with them. I am also happy to tidy up after them as well as prepare a meal for them. I have a very friendly approach, but I tend to keep my authority by making it clear what is not a good behavior. I am myself very respectful to your home and house rules while I am working. I hope that you would like to meet with me so you can see if I am an appropriate fit to babysit your child/children. I have many references of families I've previously babysat for; that can be provided upon request.
