As a babysitter, it is my desire to promote an environment that is safe, supportive and welcoming! In order to establish an environment conducive to this, I believe I should encourage children to explore their natural curiosities. To be a positive role model, while at the same time a loved babysitter to the children, I like to provide an array of activities for kids, depending on what is age appropriate! I am constantly on the 'go' and enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, games and am willing to participate in most any game or 'play' a child wishes! I also enjoy reading a book, playing a quiet board game, or doing a puzzle to calm down before a child's naptime or bedtime! I have been babysitting for over ten years. I truly enjoy caring for children. They are incredible human beings with an abudance of curiosities of their own. I Read more think some days or evenings of babysitting, I learn more from being around kids, than I am ever able to teach them! I love being able to jump in and participate, or stay back and give the children time to explore on their own. Most importantly, my role as a babysitter is to not only provide a fun environment for your children, it is to look after them and keep them safe and extremely well cared for. When I babysit, I look out for the children as if they were my own. Caring for someones children is the biggest responsibility anyone could ever have, and I fully respect a parents wishes and expectations they have for me as their child's babysitter!
