I have been babysitting since 8th grade. When I began babysitting, I passed a certification class. I have experience with children of all ages, as well as children with severe allergies who may require administration of an epipen.
I used to be a teacher in Poland and now substitute at different schools. I also look forwarding to babysitting during the summer, or any time I have available time! I have a lot of experience with kids and I love being around them and making them happy. I am friendly, fun and very responsible!
