I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and watching them grow, learn, and gain confidence. Every child has a unique personality, and I love being someone they can feel safe, supported, and comfortable with. Building meaningful connections with children while giving parents peace of mind is one of the most rewarding parts of being a sitter.I have experience working with children of various ages as a sports coach, camp counselor, and supervisor. I also have hands-on experience caring for infants, as well as my eight nieces and nephews over the years, giving me experience with children in many different stages of development. Through these experiences, I’ve learned the importance of patience, communication, safety, and creating a fun, engaging environment where children can thrive.I’m kind, calm, organized, and dependable, and I always strive to create a safe, positive, and nurturing environment for children. I’m comfortable caring for infants, planning age-appropriate activities, helping with homework, preparing bottles and simple meals and snacks, changing diapers, maintaining nap schedules, and keeping consistent daily routines.
