Babysitter - JESSICA B. (User #126603)

I am a student at Eastern Michigan University where I am majoring in history with a minor in historic preservation. I also work around 20+ hours during the school year as a babysitter for two families who are friends. Every afternoon (except Wed) I take care of two boys, 4 and 5. I make lunch for the boys and plan activites with them as well. When their older siblings get out of school I have three to five kids. The older childern are two girls, 7 and 8 and one boy, 10. In the summer I am full time with one family with two boys, 4 and 10 and one girl, 7.

I also have experience in a daycare environment ages 18 months to pre-kindergarden (I worked mainly with toddlers) and that is how I got the babysitting job with the families. The 4 year old was in the room that I worked in and I began doing some babysitting for them. I also babysat for another boy who was 2 until his famliy moved.

I have a six year old nephew who I babysat often until he was three, that is when I moved to Ypsilanti for college. I still watch him when I go home and now I have a baby niece that I enjoy helping take care of.

I was certified in CPR and first aid and have plans to get recertified in this summer.
