My go-to phrase is “Never make your smile disappear, stay happy”
I’m an 18 year old who is experienced in babysitting for 5 years and I plan to continue taking great care of toddlers, infants & children when possible. I will always make sure to do my best in entertainment and keeping kids happy. My ultimate goal is to make new friends in families, especially little friends :) . I am very determined, hardworking and ready to show my capabilities as a hardworking babysitter.
My name is isabel, i’m a recent highschool graduate with a passion for working with children & animals-
I have a big family, so I grew up helping with younger cousins and family friends, which over time created a passion for working with children. I adore children of all ages, and they seem to have a magnetism towards me, which makes watching them a wonderful experience on both ends. I am willing to help with homework, cleaning, cooking, bathing, laundry, and obviously keeping them occupied with fun yet enriching activities. I am open to working with any dietary restrictions (whether it be allergies or simply picky eating), so if two children want two different meals, I am completely fine with accommodating to those needs. I find children’s presence comforting and i would love to give back and help any families in need of an extra hand.
As for pets- I grew up with cats and a dog, and I also had a bunny when i was younger whom i adored. I’ve had pets my whole life and i cannot imagine a world without them. Similar to kids, animals have an innocent and curious nature to them which i find extremely comforting and would love any opportunity to help any pet parents out there with less time on their hands than desirable for their fur babies. Once again, I am willing to clean, groom, prepare meals, and provide fun yet enriching activities to satisfy whatever needs your pet has.
I have genuine love for this field of work, and I make sure i put my heart into everything i do when it comes to little ones- whether it be fur babies or real children.
