Hello! I have been watching children for the past seven years, babysit regularly for families in my area and also nannied for a family with two girls ages four and six. I love kids of all ages and have an easy time getting along with them! I value punctuality, time management as well as communication.
Hello, my name is Kobi. I am a young energetic man who has been in the childcare field for over 4+ years now. Most of my experience is primarily as an assistant teacher in preschools and daycares, though I have also worked in summer camp positions, as well as currently being an on call babysitter for the same family for the past two years. I would say my strongest skills are my ability to be an effective communicator, my genuine kindness and compassion, a knack for being silly and fun yet being stern simultaneously, and most importantly being very affectionate. I am looking forward to hopefully hearing from you, and I appreciate your time.
Hi, my name is Julie and I am going to be a junior in high school. I am involved in dance and soccer at my school and am also an honor roll student. I am very kind, responsible, and reliable. I have younger siblings so I enjoy being around children and have excellent patience. I also want to work as a nurse in pediatrics so working with children is my strong suit.
Looking for nearby homes in need of babysitting :)
Just a 24-year-old introvert looking to take care of children. I started at the age of 8 years old. I'm sorry, but I don't own a vehicle at the moment so no transportation for myself. I am hoping to become a neonatal nurse!
