I have over 7 years of babysitting experience. I also have experience with special needs children. I started babysitting my cousins, who are both special needs, while I was in middle school. Through all 4 years of high school, I volunteered to babysit children who had to come to meetings with their parents, I would work at all of the carnivals that we had set up for the preschoolers, I helped host trunk or treats for the 2-year-olds, and over the summer I was a leadership intern that allowed children to use their critical thinking skills to become "entrepreneurs." I love being around children because I believe that kids need someone to challenge their creativity. I work at a church on Wednesdays night as a nursery attendant and I have gotten CPR certified for that job.
