BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE  I have spent the last six years working as a babysitter, during which I gained extensive experience in caring for children of various ages. My responsibilities included creating a safe and fun environment, helping with homework, and ensuring the children were well-cared for in their parents' absence. I have also served as an English tutor at a local daycare, helping young children develop their language skills, which I believe would be beneficial for your children’s education. Additionally, I have volunteered at a community hospital for kids, where I learned to be patient, empathetic, and attentive to children's needs. These experiences have taught me the importance of nurturing a child’s growth and development, both emotionally and intellectually.
