I have an extensive history with kids and babysitting experience. I started babysitting at 12 when my aunt had the first baby in years but she was still working - she recommended me to a few of her friends over the years and suddenly I had clientele. I have babysat during day and overnights, for 7 different families over long periods - some I have had relations with for years. I enjoy forming bonds with families and their children. I have experience in being a stay in au pair when a single mother I babysat for (ward family) went to Australia with her mother for 2 months. I lived in her home while she traveled with her 3 young children aged at the time 9 months, 3 years and 6 years - the oldest being nonverbal autistic. I woke up with them in the morning, dressed and fed the oldest before nursery and school, tended to the baby during the day before school run, did homework and home learning before sensory play and evening routine.
