Summary

Responsible and dedicated babysitter with 10 years of experience caring for children ages 0 to 10 during evenings, weekends and summer and winter school holidays. Skilled in providing nurturing and safe environments for children of all ages, with a proven ability to create strong bonds with the children I have cared for. Confident in implementing educational and engaging activities. I am a very easy going individual who can easily adapt to new routines where and when necessary. I have a diverse professional background in banking, customer service, machine operating, beauty therapy, and writing. However I have continued babysitting alongside my career as I am extremely passionate about caring for children.
