I am always on time and very reliable. The kids are always excited to see me as I always ensure that we have a good time. I am great at incorporating creative activities into the day, e.g singing songs, playing instruments, etc as I am a classical pianist as well as singer. I have also worked with no-screen families with great success.

Kids love how I am always playing with and interacting with them rather than simply observing. We read books, make music, draw, paint, cook, bake, play outside, make paper aeroplanes etc. I try to find the child's own interests and expand on them through our activities. E.g if a child loves dinosaurs, we can write a song about a dinosaur, or build a volcano out of sand

I have always loved babysitting simply because I love kids. I think it's the best job in the world. I am more than happy to play barbies all day if that's what the child wishes!
