HI there, there’s something really special about bonding with kids and helping them feel safe and happy. It’s like I’m part of their little world for a bit, and I get to make sure they’re having fun while their parents can take a break or do their thing. Plus, I’ve learned so much along the way, like how to handle all sorts of situations, from tantrums to just keeping everyone entertained. I’ve been babysitting for about 6 years now, so I’ve had a lot of different experiences with all ages. I’ve babysat for families with toddlers, grade-schoolers, and even teens. I’ve done everything from playing games and arts & crafts to bedtime routines and managing after-school homework. It’s definitely made me super adaptable! As for skills and training, I’ve taken a couple of safety courses in high school including CPR and first aid, which I feel is super important. It’s made me feel more confident, especially if something unexpected happens. I’ve developed a really good sense of patience, too, which is key!
