Hi! For the past four years, I have been on my school's babysitting list, meaning that parents of younger students in my K-12 school can reach out for babysitting services. As a result, I have had plenty of babysitting experience. I was also a full-time camp counselor in the summer of 2021, during which time I cared for kids who were rising kindergarteners, 1st graders, and 4th graders. In this position, I learned how to ensure safety while also providing fun experiences for the children. I have just graduated high school and am enrolled in the class of 2027 at Dartmouth College.
