I have over 5 years of childcare experience, working with children ranging from newborns to age 13. Throughout high school and into college, I’ve babysat for multiple families in my hometown, building a strong reputation as dependable, patient, and fun. My responsibilities have included preparing meals, organizing playtime and activities, helping with homework, and keeping children on safe routines.
Currently, I’m a student at Howard University, majoring in Psychology with a focus on children and development. My academic background has strengthened my understanding of child behavior, communication, and emotional needs, which I apply when babysitting. In addition, my leadership roles in school and community service projects have taught me responsibility, creativity, and how to keep kids engaged in safe, enjoyable ways.
I combine hands-on childcare experience with an academic foundation in child psychology, making me well-prepared to provide a nurturing and reliable babysitting service.
