Loving Babysitter Who Keeps Kids Safe, Happy, and Having Fun!

I have several years of experience working with children through babysitting, teaching swim lessons, and volunteering at kids’ camps. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids, and I’m comfortable handling multiple children at once. I also completed a three-class course focused on child development, from understanding basic needs to child psychology, and gained hands-on experience working in an elementary school classroom.
