Description

Hello! I have been babysitting and volunteering with children for most of my life. I love working with children and as a married woman who deeply respects parenthood, I see babysitting as a privileged experience in which I can practice for when I’m ready to have my own. I do not rely on screens; I much prefer interactive activities like puzzles, building blocks, board games, reading, drawing, coloring, crafting, playing sports or even walking to a nearby park, etc. I love encouraging children and engaging them in playful and educational activities that stimulate their minds and support healthy development intellectually, physically and emotionally. Anytime I am supervising children, I don’t just watch them, I care for them.
I have babysat for various families since I was a teenager, including neighbors, family friends and family co-workers. Ages have ranged from 9 months to 14 years old. Duties included walking and/or driving children, serving snacks and/or cooking light meals, light clean-up, homework help and leading children in fun activities that keep them away from the screen. I have also volunteered for summer camps working with children aged 11 to 14 years old, where my responsibilities included supervising children in sports, crafts, swimming and other general activities.
