• Comfortable with pets

I am a second year graduate student at Columbia University. I enjoy reading, writing, listening to music, working out, living a healthy lifestyle, and traveling. I am very physically active and have no trouble keeping up with active children. I have 2+ years of experience babysitting children ranging from 18 months to 11 years old. I am currently a part-time babysitter for a 7 year old boy who lives in Soho and attends school in the West Village. I have worked with this family since May 2015. I enjoy babysitting because I like being a role model for children and having a positive influence on them during their early years of life. I also enjoy their inherent desire to have fun, learn, and explore. Babysitting has been an invaluable experience and I appreciate the connections I’ve made with all the children I have worked with. Please see my experience detailed Read more below. I can provide references upon request. June-August 2015 - Park Slope, Brooklyn Last summer I took care of children for two families in Park Slope. I spent mornings watching an 18 month old girl and afternoons with an 8 year old boy and 11 year old girl. I was responsible for taking the 18-month old girl to the park, sing-a-longs, and the Y. I played with her, prepared meals, changed diapers, read books to her, and prepared her for nap time. In the afternoons I picked up the 8 year old boy and 11 year old girl from school or camp, brought them to playdates or appointments, and prepared meals for them. I also supervised playdates with their friends at their home. June 2014- present Williamsburg, Brooklyn I am an occasional babysitter for a 10 year old girl who lives in Williamsburg. I started working with her in the Summer of 2014. I am responsible for meal preparation, playdate supervision, homework help, and occasional after-school pickup. I am also her imaginative playtime companion and an audience member of her at home gymnastic routines. January 2013 to October 2014 Tribeca, NY During this time I babysat an 8 year old boy and an 11 year old girl. My duties included picking them up from school and taking the children to playdates, extracurricular activities, and medical appointments. I helped with homework, reading, snack preparation, and bath time. I also was responsible for watching the children’s friends during playdates.
