I’m a 20-year-old college student entering my senior year, currently majoring in Psychology while minoring in Sociology & Human Development with a concentration in Mental Health Services. My academic background has given me a strong understanding of child development, behavior, and emotional support, which I bring into every babysitting experience. I have several years of experience caring for children of various ages, from infants to pre-teens, and I always strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy building positive relationships with the kids and families I work with.
