I love being a sitter because caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, helping them learn, grow, and feel safe and supported. Being around children brings me joy, and I take pride in creating a fun, nurturing, and positive environment for them. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. I grew up taking care of my younger cousins and sibilings, which gave me a strong foundation in childcare from an early age. I also spent several years working at summer camps, where I supervised groups of children, planned activities, and ensured their safety. In addition, I worked as an assistant in a Pre-K Head Start program within the school system, supporting teachers and helping children with daily routines and learning activities. I have also worked as a nanny in multiple households, providing consistent and Read more reliable care over time. I am certified in First Aid and CPR, which allows me to respond calmly and responsibly in emergency situations. I am skilled in a wide range of childcare and household tasks, including meal preparation, diaper changes, bottle feeding, nap and bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and keeping children engaged with age-appropriate activities. I treat every child as if they were my own and always strive to build trust with both children and parents. My goal is to provide safe, dependable, and loving care while supporting families in their daily routines.
