I am 18-years-old and I have been babysitting for about four years. The children I have watched have ranged from infancy to about 1- years-old. I have a niece who is currently 2-years-old, and I babysit her very often. I love children, I can cook, and I have my own vehicle. Thank you for your consideration!
