Whether we are playing games, staying active outside, or winding down with a favorite story, I see a lot of value in earning a kids trust and helping them have joy in their childhood because it truly does fly by. I genuinely enjoy the unique personality of every child and love being a positive, reliable mentor they look forward to seeing. - CPR certified, competent in managing dietary needs/ allergies, etc - positive attitude, open to tasks around the house - thorough with cleanliness / aim to leave things better than Read more I found them, cleaning and organizing what’s needed so you can come home to a relaxing space. - have been babysitting since I was 14 for younger cousins and a variety of families. - experience managing multiple children at once, keeping up with high-energy schedules, and handling bedtime/mealtime routines. - comfortable with animals (have worked for Rover dog walking as well) and have usually babysat for families with pets. - calm under pressure and observant. If child is escalating or injured I have experience being able to say composed, triage needs, and contact parents/ other resources. - attention to detail and in nursing school have learned about developmental stages of children, mental and physical functioning at different ages, etc.
