As the oldest sibling of four other children: ages 5, 7, and 12, I frequently watch them for evenings or take them out for day activities in town. In addition to experience entertaining high-energy children, their relatively close ages have given me plenty of practice in mediating arguments. My favorite games to play with the kids are Blink, a fast-paced card game that teaches kids to find patterns and plan ahead; Marble Run, which brings out their engineering side; and good old-fashioned hide-and-go-seek. My other experience includes a club that I co-founded called Blue Ridge Middle School Cyberpatriot. This was a computer club that allowed our local middle-schoolers to compete in a national cybersecurity competition, and taught them the fundamentals of cybersecurity and computer networking. Another student and I were solely responsible for the lesson content and managing the attendees, of which we had about a dozen. Although these children Read more which older, the club gave me practice in dividing my attention fairly between many different kids. It also increased my ability to communicate difficult concepts to younger people, something which would be valuable should any children I babysit need help with homework or another activity. Overall, I would consider myself well-rounded and suited for the variety and uniqueness of any babysitting job.
