I have always loved children and been good at connecting, caring, and entertaining them. I'm very responsible and always put safety first. A child's health and happiness are always priorities when I'm watching them, and it's important to me that I interact with the children I babysit or nanny for and that we play and have fun. I've studied psychology and am very interested in pursuing a career as a professional clinical counselor specializing in children and adolescents, and in my opinion, positive reinforcement, emotional validation, and a calm and supportive environment are some of the most important aspects of a child's upbringing. I've been babysitting since I was twelve, and for nearly three years, I have nannied and babysat for two children and only stopped consistently watching them because I left for college. This job was so fulfilling and fun for me, I love those kids and still babysit Read more and visit them when I can. I've cared for a twenty-day-old infant, dealt with changing a diaper and potty-training a crying toddler simultaneously, kept the peace between competitive siblings, comforted children who missed their parents, had bad dreams, and so on and so forth. Some nineteen-year-olds excel in academics or athletics or art. I excel at caring for, connecting with, talking to, and understanding kids.
