Hi! I am 35 years old and I would love to babysit for your family! I have been babysitting for more than 20 years (including for families with special needs children and children with health issues) and I am certified in CPR. I am currently i grad school getting my PsyD to become a childhood psychologist. I love reading, hiking, cooking, running (I have run 3 marathons) and traveling (I have been yto 30 countries so far). I come from a big family that is very close so I am excellent at handling a lot of noise and chaos! I have experience with sitting for large families (5+ kids), kids with special needs, and have done travel sitting, overnights, and have also worked as a night nurse taking care of newborns.

Danielle applied for the job that i posted. I texted her with the phone number she provided and she agreed to meet with us the next day at a coffee shop. Me and my husband arrived at the coffee shop where we were supposed to meet her bur she wasn't there. We texted her a couple times to see if she was still coming but did not reply. We waited for her more than half an our but she didn't show up. She could have atleast texted us and let us know that she is not going to make it. I found it very unprofessional and rude. This shows me that she is not a reliable person.

Danielle was great. She arrived right on time and kept our son entertained, and put him to bed. We will call her again when needed.

Danielle was a regular sitter for us last summer and we all loved her. She is playful and nurturing, which meant she was great with our 3 year old and our 5 month old. She always had them outside, did art projects, and managed temper tantrums. And somehow, she managed to clean up dinner messes too. We all look forward to Danielle sitting for us and recommend her with no reservations!
