Summary
Knowledgeable and creative childcare provider with a strong background working alongside the Girl Scouts of the USA with over 10 years of babysitting experience. I am an adept problem-solver, skilled in artistic, musical, and educational activity, and possess a great understanding of child & adolescent development. Motivated to facilitate creative expression and nurture individual talents, I see potential in each and every child. Patient and empathetic, I excel in one-on-one care with all children, including those with special needs, and I have completed the Red-Cross Babysitter's training course to ensure the wellbeing of all children under my care.
