Here are a few qualities that I possess, that make a great babysitter/nanny: Dependable & responsible: Dependability is a must, as I am responsible for the child's health and safety. Loves little children: The best babysitters understand and love children- I know I do. Self-confident: Children can usually tell if their babysitter is confident in their abilities. As an experienced chatter box, I have never had a problem in self-confidence. Mature: I am levelheaded and act calmly in emergencies. I maintain authority and discipline. Good manners: Be pleasant, and act in a courteous manner. Knowledgeable about children: I possess a basic understanding of the stages of child development. I am knowledgeable of basic techniques of feeding, dressing, diapering, bathing and playing with younger and older children. Adaptable: I accept the differences between households. It's my pleasure and my responsibility to fit in with your family's usual pattern or routines — not the other way around! Safety conscious: My main priority as a babysitter is to protect your child/ren from harm, by remaining alert at all times. If these sound like the type of qualities you want out of a babysitter, send me a quick message!
