Hello! My name is Ben, and I am 16 years old. I recently decided to become a babysitter because I love working with kids. I have completed a course on childcare, which covered how to care for children of all different ages.
I believe I am a great fit for this role because I am responsible and fun-loving. I am also athletic—I was a goalkeeper in soccer and I am currently a wrestler at Torrance High School. In addition to my sports involvement, I maintain a 4.0 GPA, demonstrating my dedication and responsibility.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Torrance for work.
Here's my weekly availability:

Background in project management with video games, therefore I put computers as a skill. Won a CIF award and an award for wrestling at Torrance High School. I also was a goalkeeper for Da Vinci High School. This is why I put athletic. I like music just like everyone else, and I like to consider myself to be into fitness due to the sports I play. I also put down cooking because it is something I am able to do, although I am a beginner.
I'm a responsible, fun, and caring babysitter with 3 years of experience working with children of all ages, including those with special needs such as anxiety disorders, ADHD, autism, deafness and hard of hearing, food allergies, and visual impairments. I'm fluent in English, Hindi, and Nepali, and have a wide range of skills including reading, language, crafting, and playing games. I'm comfortable working with pets, cooking, doing chores, and helping with homework. I'm available to babysit in your home and would be happy to discuss my qualifications further.

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.
