Activity summary
Experienced, Caring Babysitter Who Treats Your Kids Like Family! 💗
Hi families! 💗 My name is Parkes, and I absolutely love working with children! I have over 8 years of babysitting experience with children ages 10 months to 11 years, including twins, and 3 years of professional experience working at a private school. I worked with children in pre-K through second grade, taught, and ran the school's after-school program.
My experience has taught me how to work with different ages, personalities, and needs while creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I love planning activities, playing games, spending time outdoors, helping with homework, and finding ways to make every child feel happy and included.
I'm caring, patient, responsible, and dependable, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your little ones. My goal is to make children feel comfortable and loved while giving parents peace of mind when they're away. I'd love to get to know your family and be someone you can count on! 😊
