Hi, I'm Vicky, and I've been babysitting for 3 years now. I began by taking care of children from family friends, and that's when I started to enjoy being part of the nurturing process and growth of the little ones! In these 3 years, I've been able to meet and work with many diverse, amazing, and beautiful families, which I'll forever be grateful because they allowed me to be part of the growth of their children's young and beautiful lives. I'm a high school student, and l intend to study medicine in college once I graduate! | have a CPR certification, and am taking a biomedical course in my High School. Outside of school and babysitting, I play soccer, teach a group of kids Spanish, write, read a LOT, enjoy quality time with my family out in nature, and photograph Austin's beauty. I'm a big enthusiast of literature and art, and I am on a mission to encourage the little ones to become their own artists!
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Austin for work.
