Hi, I'm Raquel. I'm 16 and I love kids! I'm new at babysitting but I'm positive that I could be a really successful babysitter. I enjoy interacting with children and getting to explore their unique personalities and traits! To me, teaching children about their emotions and how to handle them is important. This means that I take care in the way that I speak to them and treat them so that they are able to learn about their emotions they grow. I want to pursue Mathematics in College and I'm an honor roll student! I currently work at an elementary/middle school as an aftercare associate.
My name is Jasara, and I am excited to offer my babysitting services to families in our community. As a senior in high school with extensive experience in child care, I bring a unique blend of skills and enthusiasm to the role. I am trained in first aid and CPR, ensuring your children's safety is always a top priority.
Beyond safety, I strive to create a fun and nurturing environment for the kids I care for. I love to cook, read, write, explore nature, and dance, and I incorporate these activities into my babysitting to keep your children engaged and entertained.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Philadelphia for work.
