I grew up watching my many cousins, and have years of experience babysitting with kids from 1yrs old to 10yrs old. I can change diapers, cook, clean, and bottle feed.

Thank you for considering letting me spend time getting to know you and your children.

Additionally, I enjoy taking walks with children around the home or neighborhood, offering them fresh air and outdoor time while ensuring their safety. This is a great way for them to explore their surroundings and stay active. • Certifications/Training: ◦ Childcare Education ◦ CPR and First Aid ◦ Food Handler Certification ◦ Safe Sleep for Oregon's Infants (SS)
