When my brother and I were kids, we always hated the babysitters who sat in front of the TV and ignored us. I know kids today feel the same way! I believe in really engaging with kids and enriching their lives as much as possible. I love playing games, doing crafts, going to the playground, reading books, and helping kids learn new things in fun ways.  A little about myself: I grew up in Milwaukee, and moved to Sheboygan in July 2012. I have a BA from UW-Milwaukee and am currently taking classes to get my teaching license in special education. During the school year, I work full time in special education at an elementary school with children whose disabilities range from mild to severe. In my spare time, I like to crochet, visit museums, go hiking, and ride my bicycle around town. I started babysitting at age 11 when Read more I received my certification from the Red Cross. I have worked for several families on a long-term basis over the past few years. I now have my own 2 year old daughter, a truly wonderful, kind, exuberant child and the best part of my life :) I absolutely love kids! Working with them and watching them grow and learn is a rewarding experience like no other.   A bit more about my babysitting attitude: While I am a fun babysitter who loves playing, I am also an extremely punctual and responsible person who takes the role of caring for children very seriously. I make sure everyone brushes their teeth and eats their vegetables. I would prefer not to let kids watch too much TV, but in moderation, it's sometimes helpful. I care about animals and the environment, so I try to live and eat responsibly and encourage kids to do the same. I work well with many different kinds of people and I'm very patient. I use Love & Logic principles at home and at work. I think good communication is extremely important. I am available to care for young children on a part time basis for the summer, preferably in my home. I'm extremely safety-conscious and my house is very kid-friendly, especially for babies and toddlers. I do have two cats that get along very well with my toddler. I drive a 2007 Mazda and would be willing to transport children as needed. We would be making regular outings to places like the children's museum, Bookworm Gardens, and neighborhood playgrounds. I have one extra infant seat (up to 22 lbs) available to use. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a visit!
