Meet Shantoy
I love being a babysitter because it gives me the chance to make a real difference in a child’s life. Watching them learn, grow, and explore the world under my care is both inspiring and heartwarming. I cherish those moments when I see them achieve small milestones, like learning to walk or discovering a new interest, knowing I played a part in their journey. The genuine connections I form—whether it's playing games, reading bedtime stories, or sharing laughs over silly jokes—are priceless. Babysitting has also helped me develop skills in creativity, patience, and problem-solving. Kids see the world through such a fresh lens, and that pushes me to think outside the box and approach things in new and fun ways. Coming up with activities that are both entertaining and educational are also very fun for me because it takes me back to my 4 years as a teacher in Japan. Read more Being a babysitter means being someone they trust, not just to look after them but to be a friend and a guide. Ultimately, babysitting is more than just a job to me. It’s a chance to nurture, teach, and care for others in a way that’s deeply fulfilling. It’s rewarding to know that I make a positive impact every single day.
