My name is akala Lockhart, I am an energetic babysitter/ childcare provider with 10 years experience taking care of children of all ages and all kinds. Effective at engaging them in varieties of activities and lessons to meet their educational and physical needs. I am vigilant about health and safety, I am currently 22 years old with a newborn of my own, dedicated to taking care of children, I believe that they are the biggest impact of the world. For me its about being there for each family that can certainly depend on me to not just watch but provide, love and care for their child. Its important to me to play a big role in a kids life and play that role seriously as not only a role model but a person that can make a difference in their life in so many ways.
