About me
Ever since I began caring for kids when I was in middle school, I've absolutely adored it! What started as a favor for a family friend turned into a passion. I've continued to babysit purely for the love of it as I have yet to find something as truly rewarding. I believe babysitting is much more than just a job, which one will observe through my commitment, dedication and my willingness to go above and beyond any expectations set forth to me. Coming from a large family of five, I've learned early the importance of compromise and strong communication. These characteristics, along with many other relevant and essential traits, translate into my work ethic and ability.

Activities & skills I love to teach & share with children...
I prefer activities that teach children skills while integrating exercise. For example, depending on their age, I love to do scavenger hunts! It turns exercise into an adventure while teaching them strong observational skills. I also enjoy doing activities that encourage a sense of accomplishment for the kids. Again, depending on age, cooking! It allows me to aid them in creating something of their own while teaching them about nutrition. It's a great feeling when a kid says, "I did this all by myself!" I believe this is a great way to build confidence in kids.
