Hello, my name is Mercedes and I have been babysitting for about 4 years. I have two younger brothers that I have helped to care for since they were born. Some duties that I am skilled at performing is cleaning, cooking and many of the other basic duties necessary for caring for young children. Outside of babysitting for multiple family members, in high school, I babysat for the local teachers with up to 8 children at a time. I have had very positive experiences with these babysitting experiences and have kept some of these jobs until the children were old enough to watch themselves. I have had experience babysitting children from the ages of about 5 months-13 years old. I am a Social Work major with intentions of doing counseling with a specialty in women and families. I enjoy not only spending time with the children but am capable of Read more helping them with their homework and helping to develop other positive skills.
