I love the laughter of children! That is why babysitting and caregiving is so atractive to me. I have been a babysitter for over 8 years, babysitting for children between the ages of 1 month and 11 years. I have usually only babysat in the homes of the families and have never provided transportation to the children, but I am open to change! I am fluent in Spanish and have studied Italian for 6 years. I recently graduated from Boston College with a degree in Applied Psychology and Human Development with a minor in Special Needs. The classes I have taken have taught me a lot about children; about their needs, the type of language that is best to use and actions that help or hinder a child's behavior. I am also a Big Sister in the Big Sister Little Sister Association of Greater Boston. I have been a Big Read more Sister for over two years now and absolutely love hanging out with my Little Sister. She has taught me so much about myself, herself and kids in general. I also worked as a behavior therapist providing therapy to a little girl with autism. This experience has taught me alot in regards to positively reinforcing children. Basically, I love children and am very excited to provide exemplary babysitting services to a great family out there!
