Hi! My name is Sam, and I’ve been babysitting regularly since I was 13! Yes, 13! I started within my neighborhood, babysitting for 2 families (one I currently still occasionally babysit for), and continued because I realized how much I love kids, especially infant-toddler age! I currently babysit every so often for 3 families, a family of 2 girls (age 6month and 5 years), a family of 2 boys (age 4month and 4years), and a family of 3 (ages 3, 6, and 9!) I absolutely love babysitting and want to get back into it part-full time! I also have a lot of experience with pets, and am CPR certified for children, and animals! Feel free to contact me with any questions, or for references!
