Welcome message:

Hi, I'm Raquel. I'm 18 and I love kids! I'm new at babysitting but I'm positive that I could be a really successful babysitter. I enjoy interacting with children and getting to explore their unique personalities and traits! To me, teaching children about their emotions and how to handle them is important. This means that I take care in the way that I speak to them and treat them so that they are able to learn about their emotions they grow.

Responsible Student Eager to Learn and Gain Work Experience

I love working with children. I am currently in a club called Key Club, which focuses on community service and provides many opportunities to work with children and people in general. I volunteered to watch a large group of children in kindergarten through fifth grade during a school event.

I also come from a big family and often spend time with my younger cousins, playing with them and keeping them entertained. My aunts and uncles have shared that the kids get very excited to see me because I always make time to play with them.

In addition, I enjoy cooking meals in my free time and sometimes prepare meals for my family. I also help my mom clean houses, so I have experience keeping a home clean and organized and am always willing to help with chores when needed.

Overall, I am responsible, patient, and dependable, and I would love the opportunity to help care for children in a safe and positive environment.

In the spring of 2025, I took a American Red Cross Babysitting course. During this course I got introduced to basic first aid and CPR. I also learned how to feed infants, change diapers, and what to do in emergencies. If needed, I can provide the ARC ( American Red Cross) certification. I personally don’t have any pets but almost everyone of my friends, family members has one so, I’m very comfortable with pets.
