Why do I love being a sitter? 👶🏻 I genuinely love working with children because it allows me to be a part of their growth, development, and happiness. There is nothing more rewarding than helping a child discover their potential and achieve independence, whether that means mastering a new creative skill or learning a daily life task. I am extremely patient, creative, and enthusiastic, and I truly enjoy creating a safe, structured, and fun environment where children can thrive while their families get a well-deserved break over the weekend. What experience do I have? While I have been doing focused weekend babysitting for a year, my daily professional life is completely dedicated to children. I currently work full-time (Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM) as a Teacher Aide at BOCES, working closely with children and adolescents (ages 4 to 16) with autism and other developmental disabilities. The intensive Read more hours I spend weekly in the classroom give me a deep, hands-on understanding of child behavior and care that goes far beyond casual babysitting. In my role, I don't just supervise; I actively guide them in building independent life skills—from fine motor tasks like using a fork and preparing a simple sandwich, to foundational academic skills like reading and writing. Additionally, I have a strong background in higher education, having previously served as a university instructor, which reflects my professional dedication to teaching and mentorship." What skills and training do I have? Through my daily work at BOCES, I have extensive, practical training in behavior management, crisis intervention, and supporting children with neurodivergent needs (such as autism and cognitive disabilities). My absolute greatest quality is my extreme patience, alongside my ability to maintain a calm, reassuring presence in any situation. Additionally, I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Fashion Design, which means I bring a high level of creativity, art, and hands-on crafting into my childcare style—I love engaging kids in creative projects and arts and crafts. I am highly skilled at teaching independence, setting gentle boundaries, and fostering a positive, structured environment for children and teens alike."
