Meet Lindsey
- Comfortable with pets
- Has a car
I absolutely love kids and have been a babysitter for over 7 years! I have worked with children of all ages and also have experience with caring for children with disabilities. I have lived with my little cousins (4 and 6 years old) for several years so I also gained experience in childcare by caring for them. I am a pre-med student at UMass Amherst, double majoring in biology and psychology and a member of the commonwealth honors college. I hope to go to medical school and work in pediatrics after I complete my undergraduate studies! When babysitting, some activities I enjoy doing with kids are baking, playing sports/outside, making crafts, and playing board games, but I’m definitely open to other activities as well.
