I'd describe my personality as a patient, responsible, good listener, love being around kids, loving, and caring I like working with kids because I love having young kids around especially when they are at the age that they still enjoy playing and learning. I'm looking for a job that will be flexible and also a job that I enjoy doing especially during school and I would want to have more job experience with working with children for the future. I started working with kids when I started my college year. I've had the opportunity to work with children the past 2 years and it's been an amazing experience. In my spare time, I like to go to the gym. I usually like to hangout with my friends as well and I like going to my brother's soccer game especially on the weekends One thing you should know about me is I am a very responsible and kind person. My skills include being patient, make sure they are well attended, making sure they feel safe and comfortable

Hi - My name is Giovanna and I’m currently work with babysitter in Novato. I take care of 3 boys (4, 10 and 12y). I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, napping time, playdates, extra activities too. I am extremely organized and also offer cleaning and organizing services. I have experience caring for animals such as cats and dogs. In fact, I am passionate about dogs.

Of course — here is a clean, polished, copy‑and‑paste‑ready version of your bio exactly as we refined it, with no extra notes or formatting around it: --- Hi! I’m Ashlyn — an empathetic, organized sitter with a bachelor’s degree in psychology focused on childhood development. I have 10+ years of experience caring for children ages 1–15, along with some infant care as well. I love teaching, guiding, and helping kids learn through play, exploration, and activities that support their growth and confidence. I currently work full‑time remotely as an HR Coordinator, which gives me a flexible schedule. I bring a strong safety background from four years as a lifeguard (previously CPR/First Aid certified) and three years teaching swim lessons to kids ages 2–13. I’m calm under pressure, great with different personality types, and always focused on creating a fun but safe environment. I also spent time as an Activities Director in a memory‑care/senior living community, which taught me patience on a whole different level — and how to meet people exactly where they are with kindness and understanding. Outside of childcare, I’ve been pet‑sitting for over a decade and have extensive experience with both dogs and cats. I’m also comfortable with overnights, long‑term housesitting, cooking, and light household tasks. Families trust me because I’m reliable, respectful, and genuinely invested in making their lives easier. I’d love to be a supportive part of your family’s routine!
