Adalie S., Child Care in Lakeside, MI 49116 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello there! I plan on majoring in elementary education because I love children! I have such a fabulous bond with them and I am very understanding of any extra needs they might have if I were to babysit! I love being active so I am willing to go on walks, kick a ball around, or even play basketball! Don't worry if your house has pets! I also grew up with dogs so I am very willing to play with them/ watch them during my time! While you are out I am also willing to help out around the house! I can wash your dishes or even do the laundry for you! I also have experience in health care with the elderly. I am CPR and First Aid certified.

Growing up, I would always take care of my brothers while my mother was at work. I would also help my grandmother babysit our neighbors kids who we got very close to. I am CPR verified. I love to babysit because i find joy in their laughter and the companionship during downtime watching movies. If their hungry I can prepare a little meal for them.

I like working with kids because I love helping them learn, and grow! I also love seeing their little personalities come through!
