I come from a huge family, of which I am on the older end of the spectrum of ages. Babysitting for me is less of a job, and more of a obligation - but one I've always loved. I potty trained all my younger siblings, taught them how to ride a 2-wheel bike, helped them with homework, and everything in between. I'm currently taking a gap year and have a job tutoring for middle school aged kids. I plan to go to college next year majoring in psychology, and I will most likely go into pediatric therapy. Aside from being good with kids, I've always loved to help people. During high school, I was a teen leader in a program called "Snowball" where I was trained in leadership and small group facilitation. This experience really helped my see where my calling is in life, but my love for kids keeps Read more bringing me back to working with them. As a sitter, I hope to not only "watch" kids, but become almost a friend/mentor to them. I'm also CPR certified by Safe Sitter - a babysitting workshop held at Rush University.
