Hi! My name is Amanda and I'm looking for some babysitting jobs on nights and weekends in Peoria. I have been babysitting kids since I was about 12 and love being around them! I try to make my time fun by doing crafts, going out places, and just being silly with them. At my full time job I work with adults with disabilities in all areas of their lives, such as toileting, showering, feeding, and more. So I also have a lot of experience with developmental and physical disabilities, and am currently DSP and Safety Care certified. I love my job and it has helped me grow in my caregiving skills. I am also a CPR and First Aid instructor and teach it at my job, so I am more than qualified to handle any emergencies that arise. Hopefully that would never happen, but you can know that your loved Read more ones are safe with me.
