Why do you love being a sitter? I enjoy being a sitter because I love working with children and helping families by providing a safe, engaging, and supportive environment. I find it rewarding to see children thrive, learn new things, and have fun in a nurturing setting. Being a babysitter allows me to make a positive impact on children's lives and build meaningful connections. What experience do you have? I have experience babysitting for family friends, where I cared for children of various ages. This has given me firsthand experience in managing different age groups, handling bedtime routines, and engaging children in activities that promote their development and happiness. What skills and training do you have? As a recent graduate with a degree in Political Science and Social Justice from Iowa, I have developed strong communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills. While I may not have formal childcare certifications, my experience Read more caring for children, combined with my responsible and compassionate nature, prepares me well for babysitting. I am also eager to learn and willing to undertake any necessary training to ensure I provide the best care possible.
