I would love to babysit for your family. My hobbies are reading, art, and baking. I am very creative, and I enjoy having fun with the kids I babysit. Some activities I enjoy doing with the kids I babysit are: outdoor cooking (mud pies and more!), scavenger hunts, hide and seek, magic carpet rides, tag, board games, card games, baking together, reading books (with different voices for each character!), making stop motion movies (or live-action ones too!), origami (paper folding), and slime making. I also enjoy creating new activities with your child/ren, and learning what activities your child/ren enjoy. I hope to get to know you and your children better when I babysit for you!
