I have my diploma in early child hood education. I have experience with kids from infants to kindergarten and have knowledge of children from birth to age 10
I am a high school junior with a passion for childcare! I believe that babysitting should be more than just watching kids—it should be an opportunity for them to explore their creativity and have a blast. Whether we are painting masterpieces, building forts, or working on cool DIY crafts, my goal is to make sure your children are having a fun, engaging, and safe experience while you’re away.

Hi, my name is Amira and I'd be willing to assist in taking care of children while parents aren't available. I'm an academy high school student who loves to read and write, so I can help with tutoring as well. I don't have babysitting experience outside of babysitting in my family, but I can still be of great help.
