Hello! I'm Abeer, a mother of two, aged 15 and 17, offering childcare services. I especially enjoy caring for children aged 1-3, as they bring me happiness and calm. What sets me apart from other babysitters is my ability to teach simple Arabic words, comfort crying children, and engage them with educational games. I previously babysat my friend's child, who was 2-3 years old, for two years. During that time, I helped him learn new Arabic words and enhanced his speaking and listening skills. I am joyful, caring, easygoing, attentive, organized, cautious, bilingual, and unfortunately, allergic to cats and dogs.
