I have previously been a temporary Au Pair and have babysat in the past. I was an Au Pair for a family I knew in Germany as their old one had to relocate, I took their 5 year old to school, helped prepare lunches and breakfasts, as well as picking her up and putting her to bed. I have also babysat in the past for family and friends, two girls on a few occasions (ages 4 and 10) as well as a 12 year old from a separate household. I am skilled in cooking, and believe I work very well with children, making sure they're happy and open to talk to me about anything they need as I know having a babysitter can be very daunting especially for more anxious children.
