Hi! My name is Linda, and I’m a college student studying biochemistry and psychology with a concentration in neuroscience. I have experience working with children in both academic and caregiving settings. I previously volunteered as a tutor for special needs students, helping them with homework and developing learning strategies suited to their individual needs. This experience strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to engage with children in a positive and supportive way. While I don’t have formal babysitting certifications yet, I am responsible, reliable, and attentive to children's needs. I can help with homework, prepare simple meals, and create fun, educational activities to keep kids engaged. I also have experience with basic first aid and safety precautions to ensure a secure environment. As the oldest sibling in my family, I have spent years caring for younger relatives, assisting with everything from bedtime routines to entertaining kids with creative games. Read more I enjoy working with children of all ages and strive to provide a caring, fun, and safe environment for them. I am happy to accommodate any special instructions or routines parents have and am willing to learn any additional skills necessary to meet your family’s needs. Let’s chat and see if I’d be a great fit for your family!
