As a dedicated babysitter, I am committed to fostering strong and healthy habits in the young minds entrusted to my care, preparing them for a bright future ahead. My passion for encouraging positive behaviors extends to all aspects of childcare, from engaging children in cooking and gardening activities to making chores a fun and educational experience. With a background in teaching swim lessons to preschoolers and youth, as well as lifeguarding at the Kerr Family YMCA, I bring valuable experience in ensuring the safety and well-being of children in various environments. As a swim instructor, I've learned the importance of patience and creativity in overcoming challenges, skills that I apply to every aspect of my childcare responsibilities. My journey in childcare also includes four years of experience babysitting two adolescent boys. This role has provided me with the opportunity to build strong relationships with the children I care for, while Read more also gaining valuable insights into their unique needs and interests. Additionally, I have one and a half years of experience working in the YMCA daycare, where I cared for infants to preteens. This role allowed me to further develop my skills in providing nurturing and supportive care to children of all ages, while also gaining valuable insights into child development and behavior management. Prioritizing physical fitness and nutrition in my own life, I firmly believe in the importance of a healthy body for a healthy mind. I strive to instill these values in the children I babysit, creating opportunities for them to engage in active play and nutritious meal preparation. Working at the Y has not only allowed me to maximize positive habits but has also enriched my professional experience, equipping me with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in childcare. I am truly passionate about making a positive impact on the young minds around me, and I take pride in the opportunity to nurture and support the growth of each child under my care.
