I have been babysitting for about 9 years. I have 6 younger siblings (ages ranging from 7-19). I am experienced in taking care of, not only school age kids, but babies as well. I have been babysitting a little boy for almost 3.5 years now (he turns 4 in December). The little boy has problems with asthma, acid reflux, his feet, and has a defiance disorder. I learned quickly how to handle complicated situations with him, it helped a ton when I started my part-time babysitting job during college. I had started college with the hopes of attaining a psychology degree, during my time in college I started babysitting part-time for a mom who has her Masters in Early Childhood Development. I have been working for her since March 2017. I started by watching her 9-month-old and then I worked for her at the In-Home daycare she built from nothing. Read more I greatly believe in solving situations rather than ending them and that outdoor play is AMAZING! I currently work at an in-home daycare, so, I have gone through the fingerprint check, Michigan background check, as well as the FBI background check. As I am still working there, I am cleared to work with children!
