Meet Keisha
- Comfortable with pets
Hello, and thank you for considering me as your future babysitter. I am in this field of work because I believe one person can make a difference, and I try my best to be that positive difference. I believe in the Montessori method of child led play and education, and I am here to help foster future moral productive members of society. I am certified in infant, child, and adult CPR, First Aid, and AED. I prefer live in roles as this allows me to be on call for the family should something unexpected occur, thus I am able to quickly step in versus having to drive to the residence. Now, for a little background information about me: My mother owned a state licensed childcare for many years when I was growing up, which is where my passion for this type of work comes from. Her sister, my aunt, was Read more a state licensed foster parent during my childhood as well. I was raised conservative Christian, and though I do not try to force my religion on anyone child or adult, I do have strong morals and values due to my upbringing. I started babysitting as a young teenager, nannying at 16 years old, and performing elder care and housekeeping roles at 17 years old. I truly enjoy helping others. I have numerous years of experience with children (including those with special needs) ranging from newborn on up. I am an excellent housekeeper, organizer, and caregiver here to put your mind at ease while you work, date, etc. You can rest assured knowing that your child’s/children’s safety is at the forefront of every day and that your loved ones are receiving the best of care in your absence. I am hoping you will consider me for this position and let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you and have a good day.
