I am a caring and passionate about working with kids as I want to work with that population as a clinical social worker after I get my masters. I have been a babysitter for 10+ years with a very flexible schedule. I have experience babysitting up to three children. I am a huge animal lover so pets aren’t a problem. I have babysat my younger cousins and others over the years. My Freshman through Junior year of college I worked at an after-school/summer camp program serving low income youth(4-13) in Boston. I also have completed an internship working with infants for my Human Growth and Development class. I graduated with my Bachelors in Social Work in a college in Boston. My senior social work internship was at early childcare center in a Public Housing development in Boston working with children (infant through 5). I also was in charge of coordination Read more of events and fundraising projects. Since graduating I have worked doing outreach psychiatric rehab with individuals with mental illnesses. I also had to transport them to medical appointments and etc. Then moved on to completing assessments/coordination for elder services to make sure they had the care they needed. I also occasionally pick up shifts at group homes. I am currently switching to working part time in order to make time to study for my social work licensing exam then eventually plan to get my Master’s in social work. I am currently certified in First Aid and CPR. I also hold a MAP certification to administer medication in the state of Massachusetts. Although, I did not pay to have the background check on this site due to the being in the social work field I have passed two background and driving record checks in the past 3 years in order to work for government contractors. In addition, passed another cori to register to take my licensing exam.

We just met Kayla on Saturday and my 2 yr old son took to her almost immediately. She was very interactive with him even while we were still home and within a 1/2 hour he was holding her hand on the way to the park, tickling her, and showing her his things. She also brought some age-appropriate books to read to him before bedtime. I couldn't have asked for more!!
