***Currently available for part-time weekday/weeknight/weekend babysitting opportunities*** Hi there! :) I am a recent nursing school graduate. I have worked at Boston Children's Hospital for the past 5 years on their infant/toddler unit as a nursing assistant. I have always loved caring for children from a young age, and have looked after them since I was about 12 years old. I began getting experience with nursery-age children watching them at church, and eventually went on to teach three year olds, then third graders. Currently, I am looking to add a few wonderful families to my babysitting load. :) I am most comfortable with younger children and babies (ranging from newborn- 7 years old) and am very active and involved in playtime with the children. I believe that children can have more fun in an active playing environment where they can use their creativity rather than just sitting in front of a Read more screen. While playing we often use chalk, go biking, go on walks to nearby parks, play bubbles, and participate in other outdoor adventures. Indoors we do arts and crafts, sing-a-longs, dress up, board games, legos, and other activities - depending what the child likes best!
