I have experience babysitting children of all ages. I can cook, do light chores to maintain the home while caring for the children. I can help with homework, play board/video games to keep kids entertain. Reading, studying and learning are my preference. Again open to all ages infant to pre-teen. I also have experience working with special needs children and administering medications as needed. I am sensitive to keeping schedules (bedtime, eating, medicinal). Pets are fine as long as they have a designated area and there isn't an expectation to do more than feed them or let them out into a yard. I am currently not certified or professionally trained, But I'm probably better than said persons. I've been doing this for a very long time. As a teen and throughout college I was the neighborhood sitter. My record was 8 kids at once for a couple of hours while Read more parents went out to a big gathering. I really enjoy keeping kids engaged in fun games, competitive learning, etc. I'm employed full-time during the day but currently looking to buy a home and pay off debt. I'm in need of a second job to make things happen faster. Weekends, evenings and the occasional overnight is my preference. For those with young girls - I also am very skilled at braiding hair. :)
