I’m excited about the opportunity to introduce myself for a babysitting position. My name is Roni Carrillo, I am a Colombian Student at TRU and I have a deep passion for working with children. Babysitting is something I genuinely enjoy because it allows me to engage with kids in a meaningful way and contribute positively to their growth and development.
I have nearly 2 years of experience in babysitting, and I’ve had the pleasure of working with children of various ages. My skills include creating fun and educational activities, managing routines effectively, and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment. I’m also skilled handling daily tasks such as meal preparation and light housekeeping when needed.
I’m confident that my blend of experience, skills, and genuine enthusiasm for childcare makes me a great match for your family’s needs. I look forward to the possibility of working with you and your children!

I’ve been taking care of children for years, starting with helping out in my big family, where I learned the value of patience and responsibility. I recently earned my First Aid Certificate, so I’m confident in handling emergencies and keeping kids safe. I graduated high school and am currently attending university, balancing my studies with my love for working with children. My experience and training have prepared me to provide reliable and caring support for families.
