Why do you love being a sitter? I’ve always loved being around kids and helping take care of them. Being a sitter allows me to support families while creating a safe, fun, and caring environment for children. I also hope to pursue pediatrics as my nursing specialty so working with kids is something I truly enjoy and feel passionate about! I recently downloaded the app once more and would love to make this as my full time job while studying for nclex! What experience do you have? While I only have 1 year paid babysitting experience, I’ve babysat children for family and friends since I was young. More recently, I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing, which has given me hands on experience caring for children and families in clinical settings. I’m currently studying for my NCLEX, and my schedule is flexible so I can help with last Read more minute needs or appointments. What skills and training do you have? I’m BLS certified and trained in basic life saving skills. My nursing education has helped me develop strong safety awareness, communication skills, and patience. I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring, and I always prioritize a child’s well being and comfort!
