Hello, I’m Merlina! I’m a student who’s currently looking for babysitting work to help support myself, but more importantly I genuinely love working with kids. Caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I come from a big family, and I’ve spent years babysitting my siblings, cousins, and nephews, so being around kids feels like home to me. Professionally, I’ve worked as a paraprofessional, Behavioral Tech, and Teacher Assistant. These roles have given me hands‑on experience with children of all ages and needs, including those who benefit from extra patience, structure, or behavioral support. I’m very determined, reliable, and I take pride in doing what’s asked of me without hesitation. I’m much more of an in‑person communicator than a writer, so if you ever want to get to know me better, I’m always happy to talk and answer any questions. Working with kids isn’t just a Read more job for me it’s something I’ve been doing my whole life, and it’s a part of who I am. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, caring, and positive environment for your child.
