I've always loved spending time with children and have babysat consistently since high school. I have experience babysitting for children from 6 months to 15 years old and am comfortable sitting for up to 3 children at once. My previous babysitting jobs have included, taking kids to scheduled activities, homework help, meal prep, light cleaning, and overnight sitting. I love to cook, play games, spend time outdoors, do arts and crafts, and explore Boston. I currently a first year student in a Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program, and intend to work with children in my career. I am CPR and first aid certified as well as being a good swimmer.
