As a first-time mom to my six-month-old son, I've embarked on a wonderful journey that has not only deepened my understanding of childcare but also enriched my skills as a babysitter. My passion for nurturing children began during my undergraduate years when I pursued a Bachelor's in Social Work and worked at a daycare. This experience allowed me to witness firsthand the importance of a nurturing environment for children's development. With my newfound knowledge and a Master's in Social Work in hand, I've embraced the responsibilities of babysitting with even greater enthusiasm, ensuring that each child under my care receives the love, attention, and care they need to thrive.
