I have tons of experience taking care of children! I am the oldest of 17 children, my parents run a children's shelter in Mexico. I started babysitting when I was about 11 years old. My parent's started the shelter when I was 15 years old and I am constantly babysitting, and teaching, and caring for the kiddos. During my freshman year in college I worked in childcare and very soon was 'promoted' to room leader because of my skill and ability to take care of a roomful of toddlers and preschoolers. Last year I babysat a little boy who used to call me his favoritest babysitter. I am fluent in Spanish. In way of training: Pretty much my only training is real life. Hey, I can babysit 7 sick kids at once. I'm not particularly fond of doing that, but I can do it. I am CPR certified. No official Read more first aid training, but I do have 11 brothers, so there is plenty of first aid practice there.
