I have experience babysitting my four younger brothers, ranging in ages from newborn to 16, and I'm very comfortable with newborns and younger children. I love doing arts and crafts, music, and cooking. I'm comfortable doing basic household chores, cooking/meal prepping, and can work on short notice. I have also completed a babysitting course.

I grew up with a younger brother who is two years younger, and have recently spent the last 3 years living with my Aunt and her two younger kids (aged 7 & 8) as well as their cousins (aged 6 & 8). I have experience with kids of many ages as I have frequently volunteered for childminding at my school and spent time at a local church helping out with childcare the past year. I also spent the last year tutoring students to increase their reading and comprehension skills. I spent time with kids in grades 2-4 and have built experience in handling frustration and boredom in children.
I am a casual babysitter with three years of experience working with multiple children of all ages. I hope to provide top notch care for your children and make them feel safe and encourage fun at all times.
