I have over 5 years of childcare experience, working with children ranging from newborns to age 13. Throughout high school and into college, I’ve babysat for multiple families in my hometown, building a strong reputation as dependable, patient, and fun. My responsibilities have included preparing meals, organizing playtime and activities, helping with homework, and keeping children on safe routines.
Currently, I’m a student at Howard University, majoring in Psychology with a focus on children and development. My academic background has strengthened my understanding of child behavior, communication, and emotional needs, which I apply when babysitting. In addition, my leadership roles in school and community service projects have taught me responsibility, creativity, and how to keep kids engaged in safe, enjoyable ways.
I combine hands-on childcare experience with an academic foundation in child psychology, making me well-prepared to provide a nurturing and reliable babysitting service.

Not really a summary because i don’t vape, no i don’t own a car because legally im only 15, about to turn 16 in a couple of months so i can’t, im a highschool student and i have babysat for over 5 years, based on having siblings , i attend Paul Laurence Dunbar highschool in washington dc, i have a great gpa of 3.5, all grades and im very gentle with kids. As far as training im home trained based on having siblings and having to care for them as their 2nd mother and providing them with stuff as they grow, i’ve already had a experience with taking care of kids and it’s a piece of cake. I’m gentle and very understanding and calming. So i feel as though i can use this ability to contain a job of babysitting for money, because i put in good deeds and just like helping one another and kids.
