Hi. I'm Simone and I'm excited to be your next Babysitter. I'm 38 years old and have loved children most of my life. I began babysitting in ninth grade through the youth employment services at my high school. At that age I babysat simply to make money. But as I grew older and became a Counselor in Training at my sleep away camp, I realized that I had a knack for teaching, coaching, and looking after children. At Camp Susquehannock for girls (Friendsville, PA), I was assigned as a CIT to a junior cabin of seven year olds. Duties including assisting the cabin's head counselor with getting the girls ready for meals and activities, making sure campers areas were clean and neat, and making sure the girls generally got along well with each other. During the day I assisted in coaching soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey to various age groups Read more and experience levels. I had been attending Camp Susquehannock for Girls for mostly consecutive summers from the age of ten until age 17, the summer I was a CIT. This camp focuses on the "whole camper" as opposed to simply teaching them sports and other activities. This is a Camp where I learned (and eventually exemplified) vital life skills for children such as sharing, kindness and sisterhood, sportsmanship, and how to live with other campers. These are values I carry with me in my work life today. The following summer, I was an Assistant Unit Leader at Camp Archbald Girl Scout Camp (PA) where duties were similar to those at Camp Susquehannock. In my free time I enjoy soccer, reading, singing and anything outdoors. I'm also a classically trained violinist of ten years. I love babysitting because I find I learn a lot from the children I look after. I'm good at babysitting because I treat children like small people; listening to them and attending to their needs, while avoiding over-coddling them. I'm organized, responsible, and disciplined. I'm a great listener which helps children learn to trust me and listen also.

Trust & safety
