I've been babysitting my whole life and really enjoy spending time with children. They are genuine, inventive and energetic and a welcome change from the adults I spend most of my time with! I'd love to meet to see if I would be a good fit for you. I began babysitting when I was 12 and haven't stopped since. My youngest sister was born when I was 14 so I have day-to-day experience caring for a young child in my own family. I babysat my way through college, for individual families and for a few churches in a daycare setting. During the summer I worked day camp for school age children and also did respite work with handicapped children. After college I worked full time in the infant and toddler rooms of an Athletic center in Denver for a year - also privately babysitting for several of those families.

Hi my name is Keisha I’m 26 years old I have 7 years experience in babysitting and nannying exclusively. I have worked for infants as young as 4 months old and children as old as 12 years old. I’m very passionate in working with children and infants I feel it is important to have positive role models to influence children’s behavior in a positive way and I really strive to be that positive role model. I don’t mind cleaning or doing light housework. Looking for something long term.

Keisha was absolutely fantastic and my two boys loved her!! We will definitely ask her to babysit again.
