Meet Sherry

  • Comfortable with pets

Born into a family of 15, being the middle child, I've always taken care of all my younger baby brothers and sister starting at the very young age of 9 whenever my parents were busy working or outside doing field work. My older siblings soon got to the age where they had their own kids, and they'd bring the babies over for us to babysit while they were out of town. Sometimes my oldest sister would even invite me over to babysit the kids when they were out of town for certain occasions. I thought I would grow up to be a teacher since I really enjoyed teaching and taking care of kids. During my Junior year in high school, I did participate in a summer internship program where we were able to assist special needs students in elementary. It did take lots of time and patience for the kids Read more to get to like you, but I enjoyed building that bond in such a short time frame with the students. Even though I am not a certified caregiver, I do enjoy babies from all ages to kids to teenagers. I can easily multi-task from feeding, to diaper changing, to putting them to sleep. I am a very energetic and jolly person, and seeing babies just naturally make me smile since they're so stinky cute!
