years
experience
I have four consecutive years of babysitting experience with the same family, caring for their children from infancy until they began school. The youngest was a newborn when I started, which gave me valuable experience caring for children at different ages and stages. I have also regularly cared for my younger siblings throughout the years. Most recently, I worked at a daycare, gaining additional hands-on experience caring for and interacting with children in a professional setting.Iβm a very kind, gentle, and caring individual, and I believe each and every child should be loved and cared for, not yelled at for trying to learn. Iβm the oldest of 3 younger siblings and am currently enrolled at Briar Cliff for their nursing program.
