Im very friendly, organized, good listener, fast learner, nurturing, wise, and gentle. I also have a dog named Chloe who I got as a rescue dog 2 years ago. I have 6+ years of experience with dogs and a variety of other animals. Im also the caregiver for my grandpa who is 70+ years old.

My name is Keniqua. I am 24 years old and I have two children of my own. I have been raising my cousins since I was a little girl myself so I really became new to babysitting around the age of 11 years old and I was caring for my 1 years old cousin. I love kids I feel like they are easy to settle if you have the right material and get to know what they like to do and what’s fun for them. Though I do not agree to everything a child would like to play because they can have very creative imaginations i do agree that maybe a little outside time won’t hurt as to properly let out energy that kids have on a daily basis or maybe putting on their favorite show and take out a coloring book and color or maybe something educational but it depends on the age limit. I have a 3 year old and a 1 years old and they are very active so I have a schedule planned everyday to where they feel happy and enjoying the day with me. Kids are also fundamental they can teach us adult something’s to.

I love being a sitter because I enjoy making kids happy and creating fun memories. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing their smiles and knowing I've made their day special. I have experience organizing special treats like cake and ice cream for kids in class, which has taught me a lot about planning and managing events for children. My skills include excellent communication, patience, creativity in planning activities, and a strong sense of responsibility. Additionally, I have completed training in child safety and first aid, ensuring that I can provide a safe and enjoyable environment for the kids in my care. Handling challenging behavior in children requires patience, understanding, and consistent strategies. Here’s how I approach it: 1. Stay Calm: It’s important to remain calm and composed. Children often look to adults for cues on how to react in stressful situations. 2. Understand the Cause: Try to understand the underlying reasons for the behavior. Is the child tired, hungry, or feeling overwhelmed? 3. Set Clear Expectations: Clearly communicate the rules and expectations. Make sure the child understands what is acceptable behavior and what isn’t. 4. Positive Reinforcement: Use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior. Praise and rewards can motivate children to behave well. 5. Consistent Consequences: Apply consistent consequences for challenging behavior. It’s important that the child knows what to expect if they break the rules. 6. Redirect Attention: Sometimes, simply redirecting the child’s attention to a different activity can help diffuse challenging behavior. 7. Teach Problem-Solving: Help the child develop problem-solving skills. Teach them how to express their feelings and find solutions to conflicts. 8. Model Good Behavior: Children often imitate adults. By modeling good behavior, you can show them how to act appropriately.By using these strategies, I aim to create a positive and supportive environment where children can learn and grow.

Kendrell W.
- 2 years paid experience

I am a recent college graduate with my bachelors in psychology. While in college I found my love for working with kids. The different settings I have worked/interned/volunteered in are schools, community centers, and clinics for children with autism. I've done supervised counseling, tutoring, aba therapy, and worked with at risk teen girls. I like to think I make a difference and they enjoy me around. I served in the Army National Guard for 5years. I have lots of patience with children because I know they are learning and still developing. I'm very goofy, I always say you can't be too serious with jobs like mine. When a child is around me they are safe as can be. I am horrible at lieing. When I started aba I learned how to break unwanted behaviors and staying calm in hectic situations. I have done potty training with multiple children. If you simply need a babysitter every now and then I'm your girl. I can be flexible with availability. I am an active, energetic, fast thinking, silly type of girl. I do not hesitate to get low with the kids on the floor for some playtime. I have plenty of love and care to go around.
