When babysitting, I love to have the children feel like we are best friends. There is no need for them to feel that a stranger coming into their home to order them around and look after them while they anxiously wait for their parents to get home because they are dreading their experience. They should be having so much fun, or be so invested in what it is that they are doing that they lose track of time and are sad for the time to end! I have been babysitting since I was 12 (I started out looking after the neighbours children while my mom was still home), and I have been doing so ever since (I'm almost 21). I was also a team captain at my old dance studio, and volunteered to teach the young kids at my studio, helping at learning camps, and intensive programs. Not only do I have babysitting experience, but I have also been on the other side of the equation. I have had many babysitters throughout my lifetime, so I have endured many experiences which help me be the best sitter I can be to your children! I am also an experienced tutor, so if homework is an issue, I can also assist your child/children with that aspect as well. And finally, I love healthy living and cooking/meal preparation. I look forward to hearing from you!
