My whole life I grew up with kids and learning to take care if them. From helping around at my local daycare to helping change my little sisters diapers and becoming a trained parent at the age of 11. I find comfort and children and love being around them. I love crafts, being outside, reading to kids, and playtime. I have basic cooking skills and would be willing to help around the house with basic chores.

Hi, my name is Frances and I am starting my 4th year at the University of Virginia this fall. While I am new to Wyndy, I have been babysitting for over 7 years. When I am home from school, I regularly babysit my neighbors (ranging from 2 to 9 in age). In high school, I was a volunteer at the Botanical Gardens Summer Camps and Children’s Hospital. This gave me experience entertaining large groups of children and navigating kids outside of the home environment. I was also a nanny for a summer. My job involved picking up the children (3 and 5) from daycare, bathing them, making them a snack, and entertaining them until their parents returned from work. This job gave me an understanding of how to maintain a routine for little kids after a long day at school. Outside of babysitting, I was a waitress at Vino, have interned at various Architecture firms for the past 4 summers, and currently work as a museum assistant for our campus museum.
