I am a great sitter because I started babysitting at the age of 10. I have babysat children ages 0-15. I started out sitting my nieces and nephews, extended family, family friends and then neighborhood children. Not only do I focus on taking care of children, providing fun physical activity, and edu-trainment, but I believe children should be treated with respect. I believe every child wants to feel heard and seen and I make sure I provide them with that. I love children because they are hopeful and they dream big. I love doing activities that encourage those outlooks on life such as creating stories and mini plays, coming up with silly dance routines, making vision boards, and using crafts to recreate scenes from books we’ve read.
