I am the oldest of 3 boys and I have watched my two younger brothers my entire life. Also, when I was in high school I would baby sit for my neighbor who had two younger kids. I really enjoy helping people out by watching their kids, when they are busy. I am a very trustworthy individual and very energetic. I am very caring and love to have fun.

Angela S., Babysitter in University Park, PA 16802 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Angela, but I prefer Angie. I am 27 years old. I have an amazing 11-year-old brother that I practically raised myself. I am an Animal lover, I have a dog, 2 cats, a few fish, a rabbit, and a hamster! During the past three year I have had the pleasure at working at some of the centers around town. While I was there I worked with a variety of age groups ranging from (1.5-2.5yrs), (3-5) (Pre-K) as well as infants (2mo-18mo). I do have all of my clearances, check ups, back ground checks, trainings (such as first aid and CPR) as well as training early childhood development. I am passionate about watching children grow and explain and learn the world around them. It takes a village sometimes, so let's build that village and connect to see how we can help each-other's needs! I look forward to speaking with you! If you have questions feel free to ask, Thanks!
