My name is Alex and I am a sophomore in college at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I am also a certified EMT! I have babysat children since I was around 13, and spent the past summer as a part time nanny for children with special needs. I have lots of experience teaching children violin, and love to spend time with kids. I have taken classes on Early Childhood Development, as well as am certified in Basic Life Services through the American Heart Association. I love babysitting because children are so imaginative and exciting to be around. I love being active and going to parks, or playing in the backyard. I am mindful of children who have special rules within their homes, and never use my cell-phone while babysitting. (I do however keep the ringer on in case the parents need to contact me for whatever reason). A fun Read more fact about me is that I play about 5 instruments and I love music! I also love to do art projects, play with toys, and read books.
