I’m a recent college graduate with several years of experience working with children through babysitting, tutoring, and school programs. I love being a sitter because I enjoy helping kids learn, have fun, and feel comfortable while their parents are away. I connect easily with children of different ages and personalities, and I always try to create a safe, positive, and structured environment. I previously worked as an elementary ESL tutor, where I helped students with learning, homework, and building confidence in the classroom. I also have experience babysitting for families, working at summer camps, and caring for multiple children at once, so I’m very comfortable managing routines, preparing meals, helping with homework, and keeping kids engaged. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, dependable, patient, and very attentive to safety. I have my own transportation and a flexible schedule, and I’m happy to help with homework, activities, or bedtime routines. Families Read more can count on me to be responsible, caring, and easy to communicate with.
