I have been babysitting kids for as long as I can remember. Beyond having two younger sisters and the oldest in my entire family, I started in the church nursery at age 11. From there I have gone on to have many babysitting jobs. I have a cousin with Down Syndrome and a cousin with ADHD, so I understand children and their needs. Within the past two years, I was babysitting a family with 3 girls (6wks-5yrs), 3 days a week from 7am-7pm. I enjoy working with children and find it a privelage to be able to be trusted with people's children.
