Hello! My name is Eriqa Jones, and I'm 21 years old. Coming from a big family in Kansas City, Missouri, I've been surrounded by children my whole life. From a young age, I've taken on the role of babysitter for my younger cousins, starting with the youngest when they were only a few weeks old. This early experience taught me patience, responsibility, and a deep understanding of child care. In addition to babysitting, I have worked in dental assisting since I graduated high school. This experience has given me a strong foundation in healthcare and attention to detail. Currently, I am also enrolled in a few college classes, where I am expanding my knowledge and skills. In addition to my professional and academic pursuits, I used to care for my grandmother who suffered from dementia. This experience has taught me compassion, empathy, and the importance of patience in caregiving. As Read more someone living with type one diabetes, I am proactive about managing my health and ensuring a stable environment for those under my care. I believe these experiences have equipped me with valuable skills that make me a reliable and capable babysitter. Here are some of the traits that define my babysitting style: - **Reliability:** Parents can count on me to be punctual and dependable. - **Safety-conscious:** I am CPR certified and prioritize creating a safe environment for children under my care. - **Engaging:** I enjoy playing games, doing crafts, and finding creative ways to entertain and educate children. - **Responsible:** I take the trust parents place in me seriously, ensuring children are well-cared for at all times. - **Adaptable:** Whether it's bedtime routines, meal times, or playtime activities, I adapt to the needs of each child. I am also pet-friendly and particularly love dogs. If you're looking for a compassionate and capable babysitter who is eager to share my skills and enthusiasm with your family, I would love the opportunity to connect with you!
