I have always had a passion for working with children. As one of the oldest cousins in my family, I grew up helping care for my younger cousins, which sparked my love for babysitting from an early age. For the past year, I have been babysitting four wonderful children ranging in age from 3 months to 9 years old, giving me experience caring for infants as well as older children. I graduated high school with my diploma and completed four years at Monroe Career & Technical Institute, where I studied Culinary Arts for two years and Drafting & Design Technology for two years. In addition, I have over two years of experience in food service and retail, which has strengthened my communication, responsibility, patience, and ability to stay calm in busy environments. I am reliable, hardworking, kind, open-minded, and genuinely enjoy creating a fun, safe, and caring environment for children.
