Hi, I’m 20 years old I’ll be 21 in June. I love being around children. I’ve been babysitting for money since I was 12 years old. I originally started babysitting because my grandmother owned a daycare center and I would help her around there and eventually when she passed I continued it on. I love being a babysitter because it’s fun and I love interacting with children. What makes me good at my job and sets me aside from others is that I have a sort of “old school” care technique and my patience is amazing!
