I'm a friendly and responsible high school student with 2 years of babysitting experience, specializing in toddlers and preschoolers. My previous babysitting included preparing meals and snacks, helping with bedtime routines, and ensuring children are cared for in a safe and supportive environment. Through my volunteer role as a year 5 junior netball coach, I have developed strong communication skills and enjoy working with children, helping them build confidence and have fun. I am patient, trustworthy, and able to handle responsibilities independently. I'm comfortable with pets, cooking, chores, and helping with homework. I am currently studying at Glendowie College and would love the opportunity to babysit for your family!
