I have been babysitting for roughly 8 years! I have taken 3 child psychology classes, two of which I was working in a preschool and in a 2nd grade class. I helped my grandmother run an in home daycare with the ages ranging from 3 months - 12 years. We had a set schedule for those kids. I am first aid and cpr trained, I would need to be re-certified. I am currently working part time at a gas station and really want to get away from it and have always found myself happiest when I’m working with children.
