About Me

Hello! My name is Faith, I am a dedicated and nurturing babysitter with a passion for working with children. I have experience caring for children of various ages, and I believe in creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for them. I enjoy planning creative activities, helping with homework, and encouraging a love for learning through play.

I am currently a student, which helps me stay connected with children and understand their needs better. I am responsible, reliable, and always prioritise the well-being of the children in my care. Whether it's playing games, reading stories, or assisting with daily routines, I am committed to making each babysitting experience positive and enjoyable.

I look forward to meeting your family and providing the support your children need!
