Hello! My name is Helen, and I am excited to offer my babysitting services to families in need of a responsible and caring sitter. While I am new to professional babysitting, I bring valuable experience working with children from my two summers as a lifeguard and swim instructor. As a swim instructor, I taught lessons to children aged 2-10 years old, focusing on building their confidence and skills in the water. This role required patience, clear communication, and a strong emphasis on safety. My experience as a lifeguard further honed my vigilance and quick thinking. I was certified in CPR/AED, water safety training, and waterpark training. Although my certifications were last renewed in 2021 and are no longer valid, the extensive daily training I received means these skills have become instinctual. I am currently pursuing my degree in Art History at Lewis and Clark College, which has instilled strong time Read more management and organizational skills. During the summer, I am highly flexible and available to accommodate your family’s schedule. While my schedule becomes busier with classes starting in early September, I remain eager to continue working and will have availability. Why choose me? My roles as a lifeguard and swim instructor demonstrate my commitment to safety and responsibility. I love interacting with children, bringing energy and enthusiasm to every activity, whether it’s playing games, reading stories, or helping with homework. I understand the dynamic nature of family schedules and am willing to adjust as needed. I am excited about the opportunity to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your children. Please feel free to reach out to discuss how I can assist your family and to schedule a meeting. Looking forward to working with you!
