My name is Alexis Gallagher. I am located in Ridley Park, PA. I just finished freshman year in the Eberly College of Science at The Pennsylvania State University as an aspiring Biology, Neuroscience Option major. Current age is 18 years. I love children. I have excessive experience. I basically raised my own two sisters from babies, who are now 13 and 11, taking part in caring for my 12 mo old brother as well. I am good with opposition, as I have ODD and ADHD myself. My sister has Explosive Behavior Disorder, so I have experience with mood swings. I do not want to make assumptions, just want to describe my experience. I want you to know that I really am who I say I am. I am good with keeping kids occupied and intrigued in new activities. I was in Girl Scouts up until 14 years old. I am Read more CPR certified, and have been able to save many people from heart conditions, choking, and seizures. I am willing to do laundry, dishes, house cleaning while children are occupied. I would like to meet you and your family, maybe get a feel for personalities which would be beneficial for both of us, and knowing the names of the children would be helpful rather than identifying with their age group. The weekends I am usually available, but I would need to know in advance. Week days I am available 4:00pm-2am but also would like to know in advance. And an average babysitting job pays about 10-15 dollars an hour. I believe I am a great care provider because I have substantial experience and potential to adjust in any circumstance. I strive to turn negativity and unhealthy situations into positive and healthy environments. I wish to improve the lives of parents by soothing their minds and having their kids in good hands. I also wish to establish strong connections between the children and my self to ensure safety and security. Not only do I aim to pitch and complete objectives including goals/chores, but I prosper to instill positive values into the children. I remain ecstatic on dreary days, and always do my best to do all I can. I have great self-strength and I endure hardships. Motivation is a large component of my personality, and I am adamant about my performance within the household or around the children. Collaborating with the babies/children has always been an effortless opportunity to advance not only mine, but their personalities as well. Having insistence for smiles, resistant to low momentum, and quality to continue after failure will make me a good sitter for you.
