I love being a sitter because caring for children brings me joy and a sense of purpose. I truly enjoy connecting with children listening to their stories, supporting their imagination, and creating a safe and loving space where they feel seen and valued.My journey as a caregiver started at home. I helped raise my three younger siblings from the time they were babies, and I took on many responsibilities, including feeding, bathing, helping with schoolwork, and planning fun and educational activities. That hands-on experience gave me a strong foundation in understanding children’s needs and routines. In addition to caring for my siblings, I’ve also provided childcare for other families in my community, both part-time and occasionally, with children of different ages. I studied Early Childhood Education for one year, where I learned about child development, age-appropriate learning, positive discipline, and emotional support strategies. I’m very patient, attentive, and creative. I Read more love organizing activities that keep kids engaged — whether it’s reading, crafts, outdoor play, or helping with homework. I also follow routines carefully, respect each family’s parenting style, and always make safety a top priority. I’m confident in caring for children of all ages, and I’m also comfortable preparing meals, handling bedtime, or supervising playdates.
