I am very comfortable with children. I have twin brothers that are 9 years younger than me so I began learning childcare at a very young age. I got certified as a babysitter when I turned 12 and I was a regular babysitter for a family of 4 children (girl 7yo. girl 4yo. boy 2 yo. boy infant) that I began when I was 13 years old until I was 17. Every Sunday while I was in high school I was the child care attendant at my church. There could be up to 8 children under the age of 4 at one time. Last summer I nannied a family of 4 children as well. (Three boys ages 14,12 &11, and one girl age 4). I am CPR certified for infants/children/adults. I am comfortable with discipline, pets, special dietary needs. I love to play with the kids, not just supervise! I Read more want to be a role model and someone they look up to, not just another "boss" for them telling them what to do.
