Hello, thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Melissa. I am a bilingual social worker interested in having an occasional/ weekend babysitting position. I have a strong educational background in the fields of childhood education and development. I am also an energetic and nurturing babysitter who can quickly create a real bond with children while at the same time respecting their family's privacy. I enjoy helping with homework, making arts and crafts, projects, games, you name it! I have extensive work experience in taking care of children; I have 10 years of babysitting experience. My relevant expertise includes: preparing and providing nutritious meals to the children, driving children to activities, accompanying children on outings and social gatherings, keeping children amused and engaged while developing them physically, emotionally, and mentally. I know how to keep children safe in case of an emergency situation; CPR hands only certified. I currently Read more live in Uptown neighborhood and am seeking a babysitting position. Ideally, I am looking for evening time positions on Fridays and/or weekends. I have my own car and have a good driving record. I can provide references upon request.
