I have about three years of on-and-off babysitting experience caring for children of different ages. I’m comfortable with basic childcare responsibilities such as meal prep, playtime, homework help, and bedtime routines. I genuinely enjoy working with kids and try to create a safe, calm, and fun environment for them. I previously completed American Red Cross babysitting and safety training and still remember much of the material, especially around basic first aid and child safety.

taja
As a caring and experienced childcare provider, I'm passionate about nurturing children's growth and development. With three years of experience, I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for your little one. I am patient, calm, creative and strive to create a safe, and loving environment. I understand that communication is key, and I keep parents regularly updated on their child's day, using their preferred method. I am also comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure a structured and consistent environment. From outdoor sports to board games and educational activities, I love engaging children in a variety of fun and enriching experiences. With my First Aid and CPR training, as well as my coursework in early child development, I am well-equipped to handle many situations. I have a car, am comfortable with pets, and am willing to assist with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, light housekeeping, and travel.
