Growing up, I frequently cared for my 3 siblings, helping with school drop-offs, diaper changes, meal prep, and tutoring. One of my brothers is highly autistic and mute, and I took care of him most summers, which gave me experience in providing extra care and patience. I’m was in the gifted program at school and part of the “STARS Only” program, where I help advocate for special needs students by assisting with homework, encouraging sports participation, and offering peer-level support. Im majoring in psychology so studying the brain , so babysitting would be incredibly helpful. I do school online every day. I have minor babysitting experience, am patient, dependable, and approach challenges with a positive, problem-solving mindset. I’d love to hear from you and provide excellent care for your little ones!
