My name is Diana, and I am very interested in babysitting. I have over four years of experience working with children, especially babies and toddlers. As the eldest of four siblings, I have been caring for them since they were infants, and I also babysit every Thursday evening for the children of the choir while their parents practice. During high school, I completed my co-op and community hours at a daycare, later working there as a supply teacher during summer breaks. Currently, I am employed as an Early Childhood Assistant at Northlea Community Child Care, where I support toddlers in their daily routines, growth, and development. I am a fun-loving, outgoing individual who truly enjoys engaging with children and creating positive relationships. I am available on weekdays from 6:30 p.m. onward, with full availability throughout the day and night on weekends. I would be delighted to provide a safe, caring, and engaging environment for your children.
