Experience: 6 yrs
Making a positive impact on children's lives is what I strive for. My six years of babysitting experience and dozens of cousins have solidified my passion for childcare. I'm creative, passionate, and determined to provide engaging care for your little ones. I'm comfortable caring for 1-4 children, ages 0-12+. I'm happy to play outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I can also assist with cooking, light housekeeping, crafts, and swimming supervision. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules. I communicate with parents verbally at pickup. I have some college experience and am CPR certified. I really enjoyed having babysitters as a kid and I hope to create lasting memories with your child. I'm eager to bring my enthusiasm and skills to your family.
I highly recommend Ava as a babysitter. She has been caring for my daughter on and off for the past five years, and throughout that time she has consistently been kind, dependable, and incredibly flexible with our scheduling needs. Ava has a natural connection with my daughter, and it’s been wonderful to see their relationship grow over the years. My daughter absolutely adores her and always looks forward to the times they spend together. As she puts it: “Ava is super funny! She sometimes makes me laugh so hard. She is really good at playing. She also makes food—my favorite are her dumplings.” I think that says it better than I ever could. Ava is especially great in environments where expectations and routines are clearly outlined—she’s very willing to follow direction and wants to do a good job. In addition to being fun and engaging, she is responsible and attentive, and I’ve always felt comfortable knowing my daughter was in good hands. We would have used Ava even more if transportation had been an option earlier on, but now that she is driving, I know she’ll be an even greater asset to any family, including ours! Any family would be lucky to have Ava as their babysitter.
