Babysitting kids aged 2-13.
| Hello! My name is Ivana, I’m 23 and I’m from Slovakia. I just finished my BSc degree at the University of Portsmouth and will be doing my MSc degree after the summer. I grew up around children as I am the eldest in my family. My most recent babysitting experience was taking care of a 2-year-old boy. My responsibilities were to feed him dinner, play with him, read him a book and put him to sleep. At the start of my 2nd year of university, I took care of two children aged 6 and 7 but this was only for a couple of months as our schedules were clashing. I used to pick them up from school, give them some lunch, help them with their homework and play with them. In 2020 I took a gap year and I was an au pair in Cambridge, where I took care of two kids aged 9 and 13. I also used to take care of their dog. While in high school I used to babysit two kids for 4 years. When I started babysitting them they were 6 and 4. I used to collect them from school, make easy lunch, help them with homework and play with them. I can provide some references if needed.
