I’m 26 and have been babysitting since I was 12, and have professional daycare and childcare and nanny experience under my belt as well! I love working with children (I’m an education major) and have done lots of volunteer work with kids. I like to keep kids engaged with age appropriate indoor and outdoor activities (weather permitting), crafts, and more! I prioritize the safety of your child and am certified in child and infant CPR and first aid. I also have experience working with children with a variety of disabilities.
