I have a passion for taking care of children and helping them grow. I have 10 years of experience babysitting and nannying for children 10 months - 13 years old. In 2016 I went through the necessary training to become a Respite Care worker for a teenager on the low cognitive function end, of the Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder. While under her employment I assisted and educated her on basic life skills like cooking and personal hygiene. It was also my job to increase her community engagement through group exercise classes, volunteer positions at animal shelters and food banks, and taking her to various social events in the area. I am an extremely kind and patient sitter. I work well with children of all ages and I feel comfortable being the authority figure while also respecting and listening to the children's needs.
