Meet Mikala
- Comfortable with pets
Hello there! My name is Mikala and I’d love to be a sitter for your little one! I have been babysitting professionally for about 5 years now. My last babysitting job lasted for about 7 months as the child started attending school fulltime. As a babysitter I enjoy enganging children into creative but fun learning activities such as coloring, counting, teaching the alphabet and much more! I also like taking children outside to burn off energy and get exercise. I prefer to get children away from electronics unless it is for online schooling. Even before COVID, I’ve always helped children to stay clean and healthy by teaching them proper hygenine, like washing hands to the tune of a song. I would gladly like to know more about your family and requirements if considered for the position!
