I have six years of childcare experience. I babysit privately and for Exodus Church. I watch five to fifteen children two to four nights a week for Exodus Community Groups. The size of the group and activities vary nightly. Most nights the children’s ages range from less than a year old to over ten years old. Another babysitter and I worked together to keep the children quiet and entertained for two hours while the parents have a Bible study and socialize. In addition to community groups, I babysit regularly when church members minister at prisons. These nights, I and two other babysitters watch the children for four hours. The night usually consists of playing inside or outside, serving the children dinner, and ending the night with a movie. The other babysitters and I had to work together in order to ensure the night ran smoothly. I’ve learned how to read Read more a situation and respond assertively, clearly, and tactifully. Managing the interests of a variety of children has taught me how to be creative when brainstorming solutions that appease everyone, parents included. Finally, I’ve learned to how to be flexible when trying to coordinate schedules with Exodus and families I babysit for privately.
