Hello! My name is Kelsey and I am currently a student in graduate school. I am the oldest child in my family and I began to learn to care for children from a young age. Starting in middle school and through my undergraduate college time, I babysat regularly. When babysitting, I strive to provide engaging and entertaining activities tailored to each child. I enjoy speaking with caretaker beforehand to make sure I am meeting any of your child's unique needs. I love playing with children and being able to babysit is a job that also gives me pleasure. My last 2 jobs have been working with children struggling with serious behavioral health issues. I have worked with children coming from child protective services and those who have other forms of disabilities. These jobs also required me to watch large groups of 10 or more children at a time. Overall, I Read more am working to become a licensed therapist who will specialize in children and families.
