Experience: My experience babysitting began when I was fifteen years old when I watched a 3 year old boy for a family friend as a date night sitter. I then took on a job as a summer sitter for a 8 year old girl with a disability and her 11 year old brother. This position allowed me to understand the patience necessary when caring for kids. Soon after, I began working at a preschool where I primarily worked with 1-3 year olds. This 1.5 year position taught me how to provide and maintain a safe but fun environment while handling potentially dangerous situations like choking. Additionally, I have worked for numerous families as an occasional sitter, but worked full-time for a nannying agency as well. As a back-up care nanny, I have been placed in different families homes on a daily basis. My experience as a back-up care nanny led me to work with children anywhere from 6months-9years old. I have provided kids of all ages with entertainment and security.

Experience with the following age groups: I have experience with infants as young as 6 months, toddlers, school age, and pre-teens. I am also comfortable caring for up to four children at one time. My experience with children of all ages allowed me to feel confident in caring for multiple children.

Interests and hobbies:My interests and hobbies include being active, being outdoors, and trying new things. Some of my favorite actives are going hiking, swimming, and playing sports. I find it much more entertaining to be outside doing fun activities rather than staying inside and watching tv. I find it enjoyable to play board games and create arts and crafts while being indoors. Most of my free time is spent with family and friends doing new things like exploring new places. My future interests include a position as a mechanical engineer, as I am currently attending school in this field.

Describe your childcare style:My childcare style is engaging and outgoing. I like to take time to get to know the family and have a positive relationship with them. Every family has different preferences when it comes to childcare style, however I always encourage a diversity of activities personal to each child.

What activities do you like to do with children:Frequently, I advise activities that children find a passion in or are beneficial. I most often suggest activities outside like the park, pool, zoo, etc if the weather is nice. If indoors, I like to encourage the kids to participate in activities such as board games, arts and crafts, puzzles, etc. I have found that engaging activities keeps children lively and cheerful. Activities vary with age, but keeping the children busy is key.

I find interest in caring for a child who will potentially look up to you. It interests me to watch a child grow and develop the skills that allow them to flourish. I have used the skills of patience and trust I have gained through kids everyday.

What qualities are important in a Nanny or Babysitter?I believe the most prominent qualities of a nanny is someone who is reliable, caring, and patient. It is very important to be reliable as a nanny since a family is counting on you to care for their kids and adapt to their needs. Being a reliable nanny is crucial to your relationship with every family as it allows them to trust you.
