Experience, trustworthy babysitter. CPR & first aid certified. will provide the best possible care for your child/children. Hello!! My name is Linda. If I were asked to describe myself in a few words it would be goofy and fun- loving. I went to college and earned an associate's degree in early childhood education I pride myself on my energetic personality and the smile I wear constantly. I enjoy childhood games and get right in there to play games such as Red Rover, Hopscotch, and Simon says. When it's time to go in and do homework or have dinner I never have a problem with the kids. They show me respect and follow my directions. In the summer, I love swimming in the pool with the kids and then making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches because we're so hungry after a swim. I love to take the kids to the park Read more or the movie or just stay in and read a good book, play games, or do arts and crafts. My career in education spans over two decades with many years spent in a self- contained special education classroom. I have been a sitter for 15 + yrs. and have worked in a daycare center with young children. I thoroughly enjoy all aspects of my career. Just my love for children in general makes me a perfect fit as caregiver. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and for considering me as your caretaker. I look forward to talking with you soon.
