I have around 6+ years of babysitting experience, mainly caring for my cousins, nieces, and nephews, which has helped me become confident and responsible with children of different ages. I am able to cook meals, clean and tidy, help with homework, organise fun activities, and make sure children feel safe and comfortable at all times. I’m patient, reliable, and good at keeping children engaged while following routines set by parents.
In addition to childcare, I also have pet-sitting experience. I have looked after a friend’s dog while she was busy, and I previously owned three dogs: a Golden Retriever, a Black Labrador and a German Shepherd all back in my home country. This has given me experience with feeding, walking, basic care, and responsibility. I prefer caring for small to medium-sized dogs, as they are easier for me to handle, but I am confident around pets and treat them with care and attention.
Hi, my name is Keesha and i would love to be your child's babysitter. I have experience with children aged newborn to 11years and have always had a passion to work with/ help children.

I’m a Sixth Former. I have dealt with kids on multiple occasions especially during outings. I can look after multiple kids without making one feel ignored. I am very enthusiastic and innovative. I will be able to entertain them while also teaching them life skills. I also had dogs of different ages over the course of 7 years and 5 years with cats. I live with an elderly family member so I am very accommodative and very good with elderly people. I also volunteer in my school and I am the face of our student chaplaincy. I am an alter server and I mentor the younger alter servers between ages 7-15. I am also open to any form of criticism that will aid my performance. I also enjoy cooking and storytelling.
