Heather S., Babysitter in Hammond, LA 70403 with 12 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Heather Simar and I am 36 years young. My passion in life is helping people live a better life and especially, I enjoy working with children and adolescents. I have a educational background in early childhood development and child psychology and also have a great attitude that really attracts and draws children to me. I am fun and also responsible. I do know CPR and the Heimlich maneuver but I'm not certified. I can get certified if that is something you are interested in and also, I too, am interested in getting certified officially. My father was a paramedic so he always thought it important for me to know those things from an early age because I had two younger brothers and helped my mother to raise them. So, I've been taking care of children for a long time. I also have professional experience working with children with developmental/mental issues and helped my adolescent client to socialize herself and engaged in activities that helped build the child's confidence and self-esteem. I worked with my client for 3 years as her homeschooling instructor as well and I helped my client using therapeutic play such as horseback riding, outdoor activities, gardening, physical activities, journaling, ect. I am a Hands-On caretaker and enjoy activities and engaging with my clients. Currently, I work as a tax preparer for Jackson Hewitt and the off-season is a little slow at the moment and I work by appointment only. I am looking to generate some more income and I really enjoy looking after children. I have references that I can provide for you and also I would enjoy hearing more about the job and learning if I am a good fit for you and your family. I am comfortable with pets and don't mind doing a little housekeeping. I have reliable transportation and a clean driving record. I do not have any children of my own and my schedule is very flexible at the moment. A little about me personally, I enjoy nature and I enjoy spending time with my dogs and my family. I enjoy the simple things in life and everyday try to improve myself to be a better me. I'm a great communicator with children and adults and also really good at de-escalating any situation that could arise with your child whether it be behavioral or a medical situation. I am confident in my ability to tackle and respond in a level-headed manner, should any issues arise. Thank you for your consideration! I look forward to speaking with you. Heather Simar :-)

A'lanya B., Babysitter in Hammond, LA 70403 with 1 year of paid experience

My name is A’Lanya and i’m 22. I am currently a senior at Southeastern Louisiana University where I am major to become a teacher and specialize in PreK-3. I have a lot of experience with children due to be the oldest and taking care of my siblings whenever my mom would work long shifts. I would always make sure to clean, cook and make sure everyone is nice and showered before heading to bed. Every time my siblings would have slumber parties for their birthdays, I was there to make sure everyone was taken care of because they were my responsibility. I was told that I have a mother figure because of how deeply I care for children. It’s one of the main reasons why I want to be a teacher. I love helping kids grow and become something of themselves. I love babysitting because working with kids brings me immense joy and fulfillment. There's something incredibly special about being part of a child's growth and development, witnessing their curiosity, and seeing the world through their eyes. Each child is unique, with their own personality, interests, and quirks, making every babysitting experience different and exciting. Whether it's playing games, helping with homework, or simply being a comforting presence, I cherish the opportunity to make a positive impact on their lives. Babysitting allows me to build meaningful connections and contribute to creating a nurturing environment where kids feel safe, happy, and valued.
