As a 16-year-old looking for a babysitting job,I’m currently a high school student, where I maintain good grades and have taken relevant classes like child development and health education. I’ve gained experience by babysitting for family, friends, and neighbours, and I’ve also volunteered with children at a local daycare. I have also volunteered at the TRCA camp, where I took care of kids for 7-8 hours a day. In addition, I volunteered at many fairs and festivals where I have worked with small childern. I pride myself on my strong communication skills, ability to solve problems, and sense of responsibility, which make me a reliable choice for providing quality care to children.
