My name is Diana, and I am very interested in babysitting. I have over four years of experience working with children, especially babies and toddlers. As the eldest of four siblings, I have been caring for them since they were infants, and I also babysit every Thursday evening for the children of the choir while their parents practice. During high school, I completed my co-op and community hours at a daycare, later working there as a supply teacher during summer breaks. Currently, I am employed as an Early Childhood Assistant at Northlea Community Child Care, where I support toddlers in their daily routines, growth, and development. I am a fun-loving, outgoing individual who truly enjoys engaging with children and creating positive relationships. I am available on weekdays from 6:30 p.m. onward, with full availability throughout the day and night on weekends. I would be delighted to provide a safe, caring, and engaging environment for your children.
High school student looking for Part time job, i ADORE kids, i think they are so so so adorable no matter how much they cry!
I’m a high school student looking for part time work. I have a lot of experience taking care of children since i look after my little brother and many of my younger cousins. Because of this, I’ve learned how to be patient, and responsible when it comes to taking care of kids.
I mostly have a lot of free time so I’m very flexible and available whenever I’m needed. In my free time, I love baking, cooking, drawing, dancing, and doing Arts and crafts I also love baby animals, especially puppies and kittens even though I’ve never had one of my own.
I’m very patient, kind, and great with kids, so you don’t have to worry about leaving your children with a stranger. Because i can understand that it can be hard, but I always do my best to make sure kids have fun and are happy, but make sure they still get homework done. You can trust that your children will be in good hands with me!
