Responsible Teenager Wants Job!

As a 16-year-old babysitter, I have 4 years of experience caring for my younger sister and her friends after school. I'm a responsible, creative, and empathetic individual who loves spending time with children.

This year I completed my junior NCO training course for the New Zealand Cadet Force (think military version of scouts) and I love to help the cadets to become the best versions of themselves.

I'm comfortable with pets, cooking, chores, and even helping with homework. My skills include drawing, reading, crafting, and playing engaging games. I don't have any special needs training, but I'm a quick learner and always prioritize the safety and wellbeing of the children in my care. I'd be happy to meet your family and show you what I can offer as your babysitter.
