I am currently an occupational therapy student at Duquesne University hoping to work in a pediatric setting upon graduation. I have been sitting for a family with 2 young boys (3 y/o and 10-month-old) on an occasional basis for a little over 2 years now. Along with babysitting, I have a lot of experience working with children of all ages including teaching Sunday School at my church and being a summer camp counselor. Additionally, I have experience working with a broad age-range of special needs individuals and would be comfortable in doing so if necessary. Not only do I believe I am a qualified sitter, but I also truly enjoy working with children so babysitting is fun for me! The kids I work with always seem to react well to my fun personality and enjoy having me for a sitter. Due to my busy and ever-changing schedule as a graduate Read more student, I am currently looking for more occasional sitting positions. I mainly have evenings and weekends free, and would be willing to consider a more regular position if it fit my current coursework. Reference available upon request. Please feel free to contact me for any further information!
