Welcome to my profile - I would love to be a help to you, your home, and your family!
Hello! I have been babysitting, house-sitting, and pet-sitting consistently since I was around thirteen. I own a horse, dog, and cat currently but have also owned fish. I have babysat for babies but more commonly babysit for kids starting at ages 3 to 10. A unique fact about me is that I lived in Haiti for two years with my family, where I was constantly around groups of 50 kids ranging from infants to 13-year-olds - all with different needs. This experience has taught me that every kid is different and made me skilled when it comes to effectively multitasking and kindly managing multiple kids at once. Lastly, I have me CPR certification, can cook, enjoy creating engaging and educational activities, and have knowledge of child and animal first aid.
If you would like to inquire more about my experiences with different babysitting situations, house sitting, and pet sitting please reach out!
