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.

I'm a high school student in an academy that involves traveling and global citizenship. I get a lot of community service hours and I'm often involved in cultural events.
I was born in Park Slope, but grew up in a small town on Long Island until college, where I moved back to NYC. Pursued a dual degree, my attitude was to cram in as much learning as I could while I was in school. Since graduating in 2024, I've had different service jobs but find it hard to balance my need to create in spite of that. I know working with kids in the past has filled my cup, so I look forward to creating these connections again!
My childcare experience spans across coaching sports, volunteering at the library for childcare programs, as well as in home babysitting for neighbors & family friends. When I was younger, I played softball and volleyball for many years. In which I garnered experience coaching, and began coaching teams of (elementary to middle school) girls for volleyball, as well as 1on1 sessions for softball. In high school, I would volunteer at an afterschool daycare programs at my local library, and read books, as well as lead crafts to groups of children varying from ages 2-10. In my adulthood, I have in-house babysat multiple times, typically in the evening, for kids as young as 3-8.

I am currently a senior at Upper Dublin High School and plan to major in Early Childhood Education because I am passionate about working with children and creating a positive learning environment. I have experience working with kids through summer camps, babysitting, and childcare settings, where I learned how to supervise children, keep them safe, and help them stay engaged in activities. I have worked as a camp counselor caring for groups of young children and helping with daily routines, participation, and behavior management. I have also completed childcare health and safety training focused on supervision, emergency preparedness, safe environments, and child development. Through these experiences, I have developed strong communication, leadership, patience, and problem-solving skills that help me connect well with both children and families.
