About Me: Hi! My name is Trezoir, and I’m 20 years old. I’m currently a college student at Delaware State University, majoring in Music Industry and Psychology. I’ve always enjoyed helping others, especially children, and I love creating fun, engaging, and safe experiences for them. Services I Offer: I provide child care and pet care services. I have 4–5 years of childcare experience and 4–5 years of animal care experience (I’m comfortable around pets of all kinds!). Child Care Experience: I’ve worked with toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children, helping them with daily routines, playtime, and light learning activities. I enjoy spending time doing arts and crafts, outdoor play, music and dancing, and reading together. Activities I Enjoy With Children: • Creative projects like painting, coloring, and crafts • Singing and dancing (especially since I study music!) • Outdoor fun such as park trips, sidewalk chalk, and sports • Reading and story time • Helping with homework or basic tutoring when needed Special Skills & Talents: • Tutoring and homework help in basic subjects • Cooking and preparing kid-friendly meals/snacks • Artistic and musical activities (I love to introduce kids to music and creativity!) • Strong communication and patience skills, especially with younger children Certifications/Training: While I’m not currently certified, I have hands-on experience through years of babysitting for families and volunteering with children and also working at summer camps. I’m also open to completing CPR or First Aid certification if needed. Why I Babysit: Babysitting is something I truly enjoy doing in my free time. It allows me to continue learning about child development while gaining experience that will help me in my future psychology career. I take pride in being caring, responsible, and trustworthy — someone parents can count on and kids can have fun with!
