Hi! My name is Kenzee, I’m 19 years old and a college student going into my sophomore year at McKendree University. I’ve been babysitting since I was 12, so I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and recently renewed both certifications. I’m a college athlete and wrestler, so I’m responsible, active, energetic, and used to being patient and dependable. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids, whether that’s playing, doing crafts, helping with homework, making meals or just hanging out and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m comfortable following parents’ routines and rules and I always want parents to feel confident knowing their kids are safe and having a good time while they’re away. I’m also happy to help with things like light tidying up, meals and bedtime routines. I’m currently available for babysitting and would love the opportunity to meet your family! 😊
