Hi! My name is Siham, and I am a responsible and caring high school student. As the oldest sister of six siblings, I have years of experience helping care for children of different ages. At my school, I am part of a Child Education program where we work directly with young children. I also serve as a lead teacher in Early DD, our on-campus preschool, where I help plan activities, support learning, and create a safe and welcoming environment for preschoolers. These experiences have helped me develop patience, leadership, communication, and childcare skills. I enjoy working with children and can assist with playtime, homework, meals, and daily routines. Families can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and trustworthy.
I am a creative, motivated recent high school graduate and young adult looking to provide childcare to those who need it! While my experience with babysitting primarily revolves around paid care positions for various family members’ offspring, it in the past has included working with the children in the daycare at Merlo Station Community School as well as taking Child Psychology classes, and I look forward to working further with kids. I’m passionate about childcare, I’m patient and some of my skills include nutritious meal prep, safe and fun activity time, bedtimes, I’m knowledgeable around childhood development, and I’m actively working towards getting my current CPR/First Aid certification! I hope to do various crafts and engaging activities with your little one(s), along with the necessities, to maintain an active and fun schedule! My availability is Monday to Friday w/ flexible hours. August 8th I fly cross country, I hope to work up until August 6th and once I get back I am available by August 31st. I’m working towards starting college September 25th and hope to work during the school year!

I have been a Private Security professional for the last four years and am certified in CPR and First Aid. I currently work nights and am available for whatever your family may need ! I love arts, crafts, and making fun memories ! Please let me know how I can help out your busy family !
What I love most about working with kids is building genuine connections and creating a safe, nurturing space where they can learn, laugh, and grow. I enjoy planning age-appropriate activities, from arts and crafts to outdoor play, and I’m just as comfortable helping with routines like meals, naps, and homework. Families I’ve worked with describe me as responsible, reliable, and loving—someone who truly treats their children as if they were my own.
I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide peace of mind, knowing your little ones are in caring and capable hands.

First,I adore kids and I love being around them. I am very caring,honest,time conscious and responsible. To add,I don’t have a certificate in babysitting however,I took care of my siblings for years so I’ve enough experience in babysitting.

Lastly,I am fluent in English and I speak and read French a little. I love music and I can sing too .
