I absolutely enjoy being a caregiver because I have an unconditional love for children of all ages and enjoy spending my free time working and playing with children. Since I was 13, I have been a sitter for family and church family, as well as co-workers of my mom, some for profit and some just because of my passion for kids. After my mom became pregnant with my younger brother and I watched many Baby Story episodes , I became even more intrigued and interested in that particular field. That is when I began to keep children of all ages to execute a tolerance for patience, which I have mastered and also learn how to interact with children to make them feel comfortable. I recently graduate with my bachelors in science majoring in biology and plan to get my masters in nursing, where I plan on becoming a neonatal nurse Read more practitioner. My responsibilities as a sitter includes making sure they are safe, comfortable and doing what is asked of the parent. I do feed and bathe children as asked. When holidays come around I love to do fun activities with them or regular arts and crafts projects with them, to develop a relationship and make sure the child is comfortable and having fun. I am also willing to tutor if needed and provide first aid if an accident is to occur. For any additional questions and concerns, feel free to inbox me.
