I'm comfortable with pets, cooking, chores, and even helping with homework. My skills include drawing, reading, crafting, and playing engaging games. I don't have any special needs training, but I'm a quick learner and always prioritize the safety and wellbeing of the children in my care. I'd be happy to meet your family and show you what I can offer as your babysitter.
