As the youngest sister I began to babysit my nieces and nephews which I have 13 of now, so I've gained lots of experience from them.However, I have had experience with children of all ages from newborns to 13 year olds. I have nannied as well. I have experience with caring for up to 4 children at a time including twins, children with special needs and children with accommodations. I enjoy babysitting because all its components come to me as second nature. Although I put in a lot of thought into my actions and how I provide care it is almost effortless. What's most important to me is getting to know the child and build up their familiarity with me within the parents directive. I am very flexible with care styles and involvement to allow families the comfort they need when having me watch their child(ren). I am always open Read more to communication and also encourage it from the families I work with.
