Experience: 3 yrs
For three years, I've found immense joy in providing nurturing care for children of all ages. My previous babysitting experiences ignited a passion for positively impacting young lives and supporting families. I hold a college degree and have completed Early Childhood Education (ECE) coursework. I'm patient, creative, and approachable. I enjoy playing outdoor activities board games, and educational games that encourage learning. I am comfortable caring for up to two children and can assist with cooking, light housekeeping, carpooling, travel, crafts, and swimming supervision. I am also certified in First Aid Training and CPR Training. I follow the parents' lead regarding household rules and communication preferences, offering verbal updates and texts. I am comfortable with pets. I look forward to bringing my experience and enthusiasm to your family, creating a fun and safe environment for your children to thrive!
We Used Jackie for a few weeks. She was warm with the kids and adapted to our household quickly, but reliability and professionalism became an issue for us. She was consistently 3–7 minutes late to nearly every shift start, and when I addressed it respectfully, the conversation became defensive rather than solution-oriented. I explained that I schedule appointments and commitments around childcare coverage, and was surprised when I was told I should consider booking my appointments later to allow more flexibility for her arrival time. There were also multiple situations where I felt initiative and follow-through were lacking. For example, when my daughter’s bedding had been removed by the cleaners, nap time was skipped entirely instead of simply remaking the bed enough for her to rest. Another example was asking for the kids’ lunch boxes to be cleaned at the end of the day, they were quickly rinsed and left in the sink with food still stuck insid.This may be a better fit for a family with more flexible expectations or scheduling needs.
