Your families next favorite sitter: caring, responsible, and fun!
I’m excited to apply for the opportunity to care for your child! Growing up in a large family and pursuing my education in psychology and human services has given me a deep appreciation for child care, and I’d love to bring my experience and skills to support your family.
I come from a family of six siblings—five of whom are younger than me—and my two youngest are currently 3 and 5 years old. From a young age, I was actively involved in their care, especially the little ones. I helped my parents with everything from diaper changes and bottle feeding to establishing sleep routines. With my parents working demanding jobs, I often served as an extra set of hands, which made me very comfortable with the responsibilities of caring for infants. These experiences have also given me a deep understanding of the patience and attention babies need, and I truly enjoy providing that nurturing care.
When I was 17, I stepped up even further when one of my brothers was hospitalized for two years. During that time, I became the primary caregiver for my younger siblings, ensuring they were well-fed, entertained, and kept on schedule. This experience taught me how to juggle multiple tasks, stay calm under pressure, and remain flexible—skills that are especially important when caring for infants!
In addition to my hands-on experience, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Human Services. While it may sound a bit academic, I promise it actually adds to my child care experience! My studies gave me a deeper understanding of child development, emotional well-being, and the importance of providing a safe, supportive environment—perfect for any child, especially those in the early stages of growth.
Along with my family background and education, I’ve been babysitting for other families since I was 13. I’ve cared for children of all ages, including infants as young as 3 months old. Whether it’s feeding, diapering, or soothing a fussy baby, I’m fully comfortable with the demands of infant care. I also understand how vital it is to create a nurturing environment and support early developmental milestones with patience and care.
I’m CPR certified, and I have my own car, so I’m happy to commute to different towns to help out. I am also willing to become certified in other aspects as well!
I’d love to meet with you to discuss how my experience, education, and passion for child care can benefit your family. Thank you for considering my application—I’m looking forward to the opportunity to work with you!
