Throughout my 4 years of helping my aunt with her children has been great. Every summer I would help babysit her kids while she was at work. I would then play with the kids, clean, cook meals, give snacks, make bottles and watch over the kids. I will assure you that I’m the babysitter for you! All I bring is my best work ethic!
Hi there! My name is Anna, I'm 19 years old. I have a deep love for pets and a passion for learning new things. I share my home with two adorable kitties who are a big part of my life, so if you have cats, that’s a bonus!
Over two years during high school, I gained valuable experience supervising children aged 2 to 11. I genuinely enjoyed the time I spent with them, and I always strive to keep them entertained and engaged while ensuring they follow the rules. While I haven't had the opportunity to potty train a child yet, I'm eager and willing to learn and adapt to new challenges.
I’m excited about the chance to meet you and your family, and I look forward to the opportunity to provide a fun and caring environment for your little ones!
