Laurel, MD

Hello! I am a 13 year old teenage babysitter!

Babysitting profile:

Hello! My name is Bethania. I am a 13-year-old teenage babysitter. I love kids and have been around kids almost my whole life, so I have very good experience, especially as an older sister and cousin! I always make sure safety comes first. The safety of your children is very important to me. I will always make sure your children are entertained and safe!

I am capable of doing things such as cleaning up the house, making simple meals/snacks, chores, etc. I am very pet-friendly. I am not CPR certified, but I did take a CPR class, so I do know how to perform CPR. I also took a cooking class, so I know all about choking hazards and how to make the best meals!

I am very reliable and punctual. You can count on me to show up on time and be fully prepared to take care of your children. I love engaging with kids through fun and educational activities. Whether it's playing games, helping with homework, or doing arts and crafts, I always ensure that your children are having a great time while learning.

I believe in open communication with parents. I will always keep you updated on how your children are doing and if there are any concerns. I regularly read up on the best practices and tips for babysitting to ensure I provide the best care possible.

I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and watching them grow and learn. Babysitting is not just a job for me, it's something I am passionate about. I love taking care of children so much and it is so amazing how you can do something you love so much while getting paid to do it! I look forward to the opportunity to take care of your children!

Availability: My availability mainly depends on you, and when you need me. If you need me throughout the whole week, I can check/fix my schedule and make it work for you, but I guarantee I am available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends!
