Clarita S., Babysitter in Scotch Plains, NJ 07076 with 2 years of paid experience

I am originally from the beautiful island of St.Lucia , and I enjoy visiting whenever the time allows. I enjoy the great outdoors, working in my garden and planting new plants and seeds; personally I believe it is important to take advantage of the fresh air. I have two children who have recently graduated from college. I am also a creative person, this led me to attend Penn Foster to pursue a certification in Child Development, although I had to defer due to personal reasons. However, as a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love of the outdoors and creativity/art with kids. Most recently, I have cared for a 4 year old which included watching him and preparing minor snacks/light housekeeping. I think it's important to provide children with a fun, fulfilling and enriched environment. I am an enthusiastic and responsible person and look forward to meeting you and your kids! I am currently looking for jobs within the areas of Maplewood,South Orange, and Union vicinity.
