I am a freshman at Virginia Tech and I have been babysitting since 8th grade. I have taken a CPR and first aid course to get certified. I most often babysat families with two kids, and the average age was from 4-8 years old. I also have had experience with babies and younger toddlers. I come from a very large family with lots of younger siblings and cousins that I often had to entertain and take care of. I understand the importance of being a good role model to children and love making their experience as fun as possible for them. It is important to me that the parents come home to their house in good shape, so I always encourage the kids to help me clean up any messes of toys and such that we cause. Some of my favorite things to do with kids include arts and crafts, Read more playing imaginative games, and being active. I love animals and my hobbies include running, cooking, art, and being among nature. I have an energetic and cheerful attitude and I take my responsibilities seriously. I am currently planning to major in Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise!
