I enjoy working with kids of various ages, I have no preference. I am very involved with all types of arts, from music to arts and crafts or any other artistic interest your child may have, so I can with no doubt share my artistic natures with your children. I have over 5 years of experience with babysitting; from infantry to preteen. I have worked full time at the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center for the summer, caring for large groups of children aged 3-5. Responsibilities including meal preparing and distribution, activity making, bathing, changing, and assisting parents with pick up and drop off. I am flexible with all types of activity, whether it is sports, technology involved, outdoor games, indoor games, or any other interest your child may have. I am easily adaptable and outgoing. I am responsible, can follow instructions the first time given. I do my best Read more to fit their needs and I have great patience along with a high tolerance level. My goal is to do my best to serve as not only a caregiver, but a companion in times when a guardian cannot be there constantly, which I completely understand. I hope to start working as soon as possible.
