I have grown up with lots of younger siblings. I always enjoyed playing and hanging out with them. As I got older I volunteered in my church's nursery. Then when I started working, I got jobs as a babysitter, lifeguard, nursery worker, and kindergarten after school teacher. I loved all of my jobs because I got to help and guide my kids. I got to experience not just playing with the kids, but also helping them grow and watch their skills develop. I hope to always work with kids and help them reach their goals. I believe being a good nanny or babysitter means keeping your kids engaged. Planning lots of activities helps to keep the kid excited for the day. I find that a bored kid is more likely to be upset or get into trouble. I love playing outside and crafting. I also find sensory activities like shaving Read more cream, water, and sand play are fun and help kids explore different textures. I have babysat my siblings since I was fourteen years old. I have been the primary babysitter for my younger cousin for six years. I spent a year working in a church nursery watching kids from ages 6 months to 7 years old. My most recent job was working in an elementary school as an after school teacher for kindergarteners. When I was there, I worked with kids with multiple learning, sensory and behavioral disabilities.
