I began babysitting a girl in 2017 who was a year old at the time. I was primarily responsible for her safety along with feeding her, putting her down for naps, entertaining her and teaching her sign language for easier communication. I babysat her for a little over a year. I also had experience with young children and special needs children while I worked at Gold fish swim school and my current job Swim 101. I am responsible for keeping my students safe In and out of the water. I also work with each child personally to find the most effective way to teach them basic swimming skills.
