I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old. I started out watching 4-6 year olds, then as I was around age 14, I began babysitting children from ages 2-10. Around age 16, I began watching infants as well as children of all ages. With my experience, I am capable of caring for several kids at once, with varying ages. I am a very patient person and I care a lot for those who I look after. I build a connection with the children. I believe that the only way for things to run smoothly is if trust is implemented between care taker and child. I am a huge advocate for constant learning, as I try to keep children as occupied as possible without having to watch the tv or play with electronics. A healthy mind is one that is continuously learning and adapting. As for my credentials, I Read more have several families that are able to attest to my work ethic. I am also a lifeguard part time, so I am cpr certified for infants, children, and young adults.
