Meet Dana
I love the opportunity to work with children. It allows me to be creative and build relationships. The experiences I have with children began from my upbringing. I’m the eldest for my mother and as such many times I had to care for my younger siblings. In high school I did community service at a Children’s Home for Crippled children and it was such a fulfilling experience that I continued to volunteer even after high school. It became a routine for me and I did it as much as I could. Working with children whether family, friends or otherwise, it allows one to build relationships, think outside the box and come up with fun games and strategies. Being a sitter allows you to develop close relationships with children. Ive experienced great pride when I witnessed a child's first word or help them learn to use the potty. I’ve also learned great communication Read more skills by adapting my communication style to different ages. I’ve learn to also build rapport, resolve conflicts, and establish trust with the children I’ve worked with. Skills in CPR and possessing a bachelor’s of Science degree along with being a sociable person makes me an ideal candidate. For me, this job isn’t just about earning, it’s bout making an impact in all the children’s lives i have encountered. You should hire me as your sitter because I have extensive experience caring for children of various ages, I am highly reliable, I prioritize safety and provide a nurturing environment, while also being flexible to adapt to your family's specific needs and activities, ensuring your children are well-looked after and have a fun time while you’re away.
