My name is Alexis Martinez, and I have a strong passion for caring for others, especially children. I have one year of babysitting experience, but I’ve also helped care for kids for many years while assisting my mother with babysitting. Through this experience, I’ve learned how to create a fun, safe, and engaging environment for children of all ages. In addition to my babysitting experience, I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and CPR-certified. My CNA training has provided me with valuable skills in communication, patience, and attentive care, which help me ensure a child's well-being at all times. Being CPR-certified also gives me the confidence to handle emergency situations responsibly. I love working with children and take pride in being a dependable, caring, and energetic sitter. My goal is to provide a nurturing and safe environment while making sure kids feel comfortable, happy, and engaged.
