I have been a preschool teacher for 6 years including stem and outdoor preschool so I have lots of experience in different environments and can use my experience to provide fun and educational activities for kids!

As a 20-something babysitter, I have a lot of experience caring for children of all ages - from babies and toddlers to preteens and teens. With 4 years of childcare under my belt, I pride myself on being responsible, patient, funny, active, caring, positive, creative, and empathetic. I'm multilingual, fluent in English, Hindi or Urdu, and Farsi, and I love engaging kids through drawing, reading, language activities, crafting, music, and games. I'm also comfortable with pets, cooking, chores, and even helping with homework. Although I don't have first aid certification, I'm a university student who is dedicated to providing a safe, enriching experience for the families I work with. I'm excited to connect and learn more about your family's needs!

I am very energetic and fun to be around. I enjoy singing and talking to others, being around kids brings me happiness. I am very empathetic, I like to listen to others and help them in any way possible. I have great experience with childhood and family.

I began working with children at my local daycare in the middle of my 10th-grade year until the end of my high school education. Beginning first as a volunteer, I collaborated with teachers on creating creative assignments, serving children their breakfast, changing diapers and clothes, and observing when we took field trips to bowl and trips to the pool. Additionally, before I transitioned to college, I gained experience with a 3-year-old personally. In my time with her, I was able to continue to strengthen my communication skills, find ways to keep her entertained with and without television such as drawing and dancing, and serve her snacks prepared by her mother. Now, I am a proud Aunt of 5 children( 2 boys and 3 girls ages 3mo-9 yrs old) and am trusted to watch them alone. I am experienced with tasks such as feeding, changing, nap time, play time outside, etc. Overall, I have enjoyed being a babysitter. I am always sure to document the day and events of the child/children I care for. Creating a safe, educational, and fun environment is my top priority!
