About Derek

Experience: 3 yrs

Hey! My name is AJ, I'm 21 years old, and I've been babysitting for about 4 years now. I'm a very social, fun, and outgoing person, and working with kids is something I genuinely enjoy! I've also worked as a nanny, and I enjoy working with the kids, whether that's going on walks, playing video games, board games, spending time outside, or just keeping them entertained. I also have experience working with children with autism and cerebral palsy. I'm currently working toward my degree in Business Management, and I'd love the opportunity to help out your family! I'm always happy to jump in, lend a helping hand, and make sure your little ones are having a great time while they're in my care. Feel free to text me! I'd love to get to know you, hear what you're looking for, and find a time to chat about babysitting. Looking forward to connecting!
