My artistic background comes in handy when babysitting children of a variety of ages. I am comfortable and accustomed to getting down on the floor with kids of all ages and taking an active role in their imaginative worlds. My first job was watching my neighbour's newborn and I still eagerly accept childcare jobs today to help finance my photography work. Most recently, I ran the day to day operations of special drop-in program for infants and school aged children.
