I became a babysitter at the age of 16 babysitting my cousins and two girls age 2 and 5. I have been a housekeeper since the age of 16 as well. After having experience and old enough to work I became a professional housekeeper for Camp Dawson MWR working at the military base to meet military expectations. Also by request I worked for business owners cleaning and organizing offices and personal homes. I worked for a year for the late Pam Peddicord as a housekeeper and nanny to her dog, Sheba. I've watched many age ranges, I love all ages. I'm also experienced in watching special needs children. My passion has always been babysitting children, cooking and cleaning. I Have a 6 year old and a 7 month old child. After my second child I decided to stop having children because of the toll it took on my body. I'm Read more very passionate about my work and love to get on the same level of the children I watch and play with their favorite toys and activities. I love teaching children to have fun while learning such as painting, crafts, abc's, 123's, adding, subtracting and much more. When my son was in PreK, I was a volunteer parent and would go to the school to read, play, learn, teach, help with healthy eating habits and watch the kids on the playground and help solve challenges when they would arise. I also watched kids in his class and set personal play dates at my home and at theirs. I've watched children of coworkers that I use to work with from every job I've ever had in the food service and retail business. I've watched my nephews, and best friends children and helped them spring clean by request. I love working with children because they teach me, too. One day I hope to open my own daycare center in or around this area. There is a huge demand for sitters at all hours of the day/night. I also have a passion for working with the elderly and helping put a smile on their face. I absolutely love working with the public and work well in any environment. I adapt and learn fast. I am a people pleaser and love to make others happy.
