I love being a babysitter because I enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where they can feel comfortable, supported, and have fun. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, games, reading, outdoor play, and creative activities while also encouraging their curiosity and independence. I am comfortable helping with meals and snacks, homework, playtime, bath time, and bedtime routines, and I understand the importance of maintaining a child’s daily schedule. Working in healthcare has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to stay calm in different situations while providing compassionate care. I also have experience as a French tutor and teaching assistant at the University of Illinois Chicago, which strengthened my ability to support children’s learning and explain concepts clearly and patiently. I value open communication with parents and make sure to follow each family’s routines, expectations, and preferences. I Read more am dependable, attentive, and committed to creating a safe and positive experience for every child and family. I am also fluent in French, as I grew up in a French-speaking country, and would be happy to speak French with children and incorporate the language into their daily activities.
