Activity summary

I can help your children and dogs development and learning skills.

During my childhood, I resided on extensive rural land where I had the opportunity to interact with a diverse range of animals including goats, sheep, pigs, dogs of varying sizes (ranging from 10 to 250 lbs), chickens, lambs, roosters, geese, turkeys, and deer. From the age of 10, I have been actively engaged in the training of canines of assorted sizes. I have been instrumental in assisting numerous families in training their aggressive dogs, effectively transforming them into obedient pets suitable for family life and work-related activities. Furthermore, I have demonstrated proficiency in calming and acclimatizing apprehensive animals of diverse breeds, helping them to acclimate to human interaction. My unwavering commitment to aiding animals in distress has been a driving force in my endeavors.

In addition to these experiences, I have devoted my time to supporting the emotional and developmental growth of children from infancy to 16 years of age. I facilitate their journey to self-acceptance and nurture their capacity to effectively communicate their needs to their parents. I adopt an empathetic approach, valuing children's emotions and empowering them to articulate their feelings, thereby fostering understanding between them and their parents.

Dealing with children presenting behavioral challenges such as persistent anger, selective eating habits, and excessive crying, I have developed tailored strategies to address these issues. For children exhibiting signs of anger, I endeavor to identify the underlying causes and teach them constructive ways to express their emotions. Additionally, I employ creative techniques to expand the food choices of selective eaters, gradually broadening their palate through engaging activities. In the case of incessant crying, I strive to establish deep connections, employing approaches akin to those used with children demonstrating behavioral difficulties.

Moreover, I have provided academic support to children struggling with their studies from the early years of daycare to the 8th grade. I adopt a personalized approach, making learning enjoyable for them and tailoring my methods to align with their unique cognitive processes and thinking styles. I firmly believe in the importance of recognizing and accommodating the individual needs and learning modalities of each child. This belief stands in contrast to the prevalent issue of educators failing to recognize and address the distinctive requirements of students, ultimately impeding their learning progress.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Vacation Babysitter

Follow these handy tips when hiring a vacation babysitter so everyone can get the most out of your family holiday.

1. Start your search early

Traveling babysitters are in high demand, so begin looking several months before your trip.

2. Choose someone with travel experience

Ask if they’ve traveled with families before and are comfortable with airports, hotels, and long days.

3. Check passports and paperwork

Ensure the babysitter has a valid passport, visas (if needed), and is comfortable with any travel requirements.

4. Discuss schedules and expectations

Be clear about when you’ll need childcare versus family time, so boundaries are understood.

5. Cover all expenses upfront

Agree on who pays for flights, accommodations, meals, and any extras before the trip.

6. Set pay rates clearly

Holiday babysitting often involves long hours; discuss a fair daily or weekly rate plus overtime if needed.

7. Review responsibilities

Clarify whether the sitter will supervise only in the hotel/villa or accompany your children on excursions.

8. Do a trial run at home

Have the sitter spend time with your kids before the trip to build trust and routine familiarity.

9. Check adaptability

Make sure they’re flexible with changes, new environments, and possible travel hiccups.

10. Trust and comfort are key

Since you’ll be spending extended time together, choose someone you not only trust with your children but also feel comfortable traveling with.

See our parents' guide to vacation babysitting for more detailed information.
