Hi! I'm 19 years old and I started as a mother's helper when I was 10. Even before then, though, I always loved taking care of other kids. When I was 4 I started going to the music classes my mom would host for toddlers and "help" with the lessons. I've been a babysitter and worked with children in various groups since then. When I was a bit younger, I often babysat for a family with a 1 year old and a 5 year old. I have also volunteered for an after school program for kids and provided music several times for children in a preschool montessori. A few summers ago I assisted with a summer theater program with several young school age children. Most recently I babysat a 6 year old girl once a week for about a year. I love working with children of all ages and having Read more the privilege to watch them learn and grow. I hope that through spending time together I will be able to inspire creativity and joy in them. When I'm babysitting, my focus is on engaging the child. I believe that getting kids active and outside is so important. Play, arts & crafts, music, and learning are so much more valuable than distracting them with TV & screens. I'm hoping to go to school part-time in the future for early childhood education and my dream is to open a small Montessori preschool. In my own time, I play music and have an interest in plants, herbs, and cooking. Specifications: I have a car and am willing to provide transportation for the children if needed. I'm willing to cook and clean as well. Non-smoker. As of Oct. 4th, 2018 I will have my CPR/AED/First Aid certification through the American Heart association. I just ordered the basic background check and that should be on my profile soon (as of 10/1). If you require a detailed background check or a motor vehicle record, please just let me know. I have references I can give contact info for once we've spoken! Thank you so much for taking the time to look through my profile and I hope to hear from you soon!
