I really enjoy hanging out and engaging with the kids that I babysit. I have babysat kids of a variety of ages ranging from infants to 14-year-olds. I like to think that I am a fun but also firm and safety-centered babysitter because I care for the protection and well-being of the child while also interacting and engaging them in many fun activities. These activities range from playing pirate ship for an hour on a playset with an energetic 7-year-old or trying to beat an amazingly-skilled 10-year-old in Smash Bros (it's harder than it seems). Regarding the safety of the children I babysit, I have been CPR Certified (my certificate is somewhere in my profile) and I am educated in identifying and preventing choking in children and adults. Concerning the individual needs of the child, I am flexible and adaptable and will follow any directions that the parents provide for me.
