I AM SOCIAL DISTANCING AND AM HEALTHY! It is really important for a caregiver to give every child the same affection and attention they receive from their own parents. It is very essential to their growth to treat them in a manner that helps them to learn and to have very good self-image. It is also important to provide children with the necessary tools and interaction to establish and maintain a fun and positive environment. I am passionate about children and I am continually reminded of how rewarding time spent with a child can be. I am gifted with the ability to provide care and nurturing to a child and provide it with a since of love and comfort. Also, I can be a lot of FUN! I love to hear the sound of a child's laughter and know I caused it. I love to read to a child with Read more lots of animation and some ad libbing. And babies. When I hear a baby crying, I just want to take that baby into my arms and soothe it. Yes- I do love children and I would like to love yours and be a part of your child's growth. Open communication with parents is really important to me. I do have references for short term and long term positions. Please, take the time to read my bio under Nannying as well. You will really learn more about me.  I am a nice, caring and giving person. Nurturing comes natural to me. I do love children of all ages, but am especially passionate about babies and toddlers. While I think it can be nurturing to cuddle with and watch an age appropriate movie or an educationally interactive program, I really like crafts and activities, singing silly songs, and reading with lots of animation. It is just so important to provide different kinds of stimulation and nurturing, and to promote a good self image in a child regardless of age. Open communication is really important to me. Please, take the time to read my bio under Babysitting as well. You will really learn more about me.  I am CPR/First Aid Certified. I am current on flu, pneumonia, shingles vaccinations, as well as TDAP vaccination. Good driving record. Drive SUV. Will gladly have background check, drug screening upon request. Ling term job of 2 years taking care of child (2-1/2 months to 27 months). Family moved to Colorado. Prior to that had job 4-1/2+ years taking care of child (2 months old to 4-1/2 year old) on weekly part time basis. Did many other jobs during that time span - including overnights.

I am new to Sitter City and I contacted Sherry about a job posting. Although our schedules were not a good fit, she was the most helpful person I have met on this site. It was no benefit to her, but she took the time to help me improve my job ad and told me a little bit more about how the site worked so I could contact people closer to my home with the right availability. I am so impressed with the way she declined my job, that I wish I could hire her even more now!
