Hi. My name is Linda. I love kids and treat them like my own. I started babysitting at the age of 15. When I was in my 20's I helped raise my friends granddaughter. Some times at her house and a lot in my apartment. I raised my sisters daughter. Because she didn't want to care for her. I took care of a family's children while they went on vacation for 2 weeks. Kids in my complex would come over and ask me if I could play. We would play games, watch cartoons, have a snack, and whatever they wanted to do. A little boy would come over everyday go to my fridge. and get himself a piece of cheese. I thought that was the cutest thing. One day I had three girls with me. They told me to pretend like I was sleeping. So I did. When I got to look. They had made my bed. Did a good for their age. And dusted my kitchen table. I hugged and thanked them. And told them they did a good job. My manager had a boy and a girl. So when my sister would bring me both of her kids to me, my manager would call me and say do you want to change kids. So he had the boys and I had the girls. On his daughters birthday I baked a cake for her and gave a slumber party for her. We all had fun.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Full-time employment.
I can travel to surrounding suburbs/towns of Lemon Grove for work.

I am an 18 year old soon-to-be high school graduate in June 2024. I have been a peer tutor for all four years of high school, and I am also a senior leader for my school's Air Force Junior ROTC. As part of this Senior Staff, I created engaging group and individual activities for cadets in the summer and throughout the school year. I was also a Python tutor in the summer of 2023, teaching elementary-age children about the coding language Python and giving instruction on small coding projects.
I am also a competitive gymnast for the Rancho Family YMCA. I have been doing gymnastics and staying active since I was three years old, and as a senior on the team, I help my younger teammates frequently, offering corrections and support every day at practice.
I do not have formal babysitting experience, however I have been an older sister for fourteen years, and I have experience taking care of my sister on days where my parents were busy or at work, and on family trips. As a leader figure in my school and on my gymnastics team, I have confidence in my abilities to create engaging activities for children, and I understand how to listen to what kids need and cater to them.
