I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and being a positive, dependable presence in their lives. I find it rewarding to help kids feel safe, supported, and cared for while also giving parents peace of mind. Watching children learn, grow, and express their personalities makes this work meaningful to me. I have experience caring for children of different ages through babysitting, coursework, and hands-on learning. I’ve helped with daily routines such as meals, bedtime, playtime, and supervision. I’ve also completed coursework in child growth and development, which included caring for a simulated infant that required around-the-clock attention, helping me build responsibility, patience, and problem-solving. I am patient, attentive, and reliable, with a strong understanding of child development and age-appropriate care. I’m skilled in maintaining routines, engaging children in safe and fun activities, and responding calmly to challenges. My background in psychology and child development helps me understand children’s emotional and behavioral needs, and I always prioritize safety, communication, and trust.
