Hi there! I'm Yoyo and a MTU BME graduate. I'm a very outdoorsy person and love playing out in the sun. I absolutely love animals of all kinds and children. There is never a dull moment around either! I am from downstate where I babysit my niece (6 yrs) and nephew (3 yr) during the holidays and breaks. I have been certified in the past as a babysitter for ages 0-13, and CPR trained. I used to watch my sister growing up from ages 11-16. I started picking up babysitting gigs during the weekends in high school, and fell in love with it! During Thanksgiving I would help my friend Rebecca babysit her 8 cousins ranging from newborn to 11 years old. At MTU I have cared for 3 different families with age groups from 1-6. I help out some alumni of my fraternity with their 3 kids, and my Read more friend with her 7 mo. son. In total I have cared for 6 different families and can provide references. I know how to cook and clean. I also tutor in math and sciences with the help of my Biomedical Engineering background. I know how to provide the fundamentals for babysitting and then some. I would love to meet your little people and have some fun with them!! In addition to babysitting, I have lots of experience with animals, I have owned a dog and cat my entire life. I also have experience with chinchillas, hamsters and snakes. My family has had pets as long as I can remember. I have not owned but have cared for a bearded dragon and hedgehog (through family). I love animals and everything about them. For dogs I love going outside so if I watch them they will get a good run in that is for sure. If there is anything else you would like to contact me about please do not hesitate I am very easygoing and flexible, while also being extremely trustworthy and reliable. Thanks so much for your time and consideration!
