Hello everyone my name is Sabina. I’m 24 years old, I am an older sister and I think that’s where my love for kids first started. My brother and sister were born when I was ten years old, so I learned responsibility at a young age. I’ve watched many kids over the past 14 years from my siblings, cousins, to family friends to people I’ve met on sitter sites. I love having fun and connecting with kids. I’m patient, fun and have a big imagination which I think are important when watching kids. I’m looking for occasional date night sitting! I’m currently substitute teaching and watching kids in my free time.
