Summary
I am a dedicated and responsible babysitter for my family. I started my childhood at EmBe as a daycare kid myself. Later in life I developed a love for kids because of the many younger cousins I have, then I decided I wanted to start babysitting so I signed up for the EmBe babysitting 101 camp to learn the basic first aid and skills it took to babysit. After the camp I felt confident enough to go to my girl scout meeting and teach them on babysitting basics. Through many babysitting jobs I have learned what strategies work best, I have developed good communication skills and feel confident on learning about certain kids and what works best for them. To end I am very excited that I have a chance of getting in to the daycare where it all started for me and learn more about every individual kid just like my teachers did for me.
