Why I Love Being a Sitter: I love being a sitter because it allows me to support children’s growth and curiosity while creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment.

Being a part of a family’s routine and making a positive impact in their lives brings me genuine joy. Experience: I have experience caring for children aged 3–17 in both babysitting and structured program settings. I’ve worked as a childcare provider, facilitated arts-based programs for teens, and supported families in maintaining safe and engaging environments. I also have experience as a family programs intern at The Met, where I helped organize educational and creative activities for children. Skills and Training: I am CPR and basic first aid certified. Additionally, I am a Registered Behavior Technician and have experience Read more working with children on the spectrum.
