Hello! I have been babysitting, house-sitting, and pet-sitting consistently since I was around thirteen. I currently own a horse, a dog, and a cat. I have experience with infant care, but more commonly babysit kids starting at ages 3 to 10. A unique fact about me is that I lived in Haiti for two years with my family, where I was consistently around groups of 50 kids ranging from infants to 13-year-olds, all with different needs. This experience has taught me that every child is different and has made me skilled in effectively multitasking and kindly managing multiple children at once. Lastly, I have my CPR certification, can cook, enjoy creating engaging and educational activities, and have knowledge of child and animal first aid. If you would like to inquire more about my experiences with different babysitting situations, house sitting, and pet sitting, please reach out!
