Sitter in Phoenix, Arizona

Hello, my name is Passion. I know leaving your child(ren) with someone you just met is not always easy, so I will tell you a little bit about myself. I am a 16-year-old sophomore at Mountain Pointe High School. After I graduate High School, I look forward to going to school to become a pediatrician. I live in the Villages of Maricopa. I enjoy swimming, hiking and going fishing. I am the oldest of nine half siblings and have a ton of experience working with all ages of children; newborn to 12 years old. During the weekends, I am always free. I usually just spend my spare time playing at the park with my little brother (7), and our dog. My dog is a 2-year-old playful Rottweiler/Husky mix. I absolutely love dogs but I am very comfortable with all animals. Due to school, Monday - Friday I am only available after 4:30 p.m. At a very young age, I discovered my love for kids. I first began caring for my siblings and other family members at the age of eight with parental guidance. By the age of 11, I began babysitting my 18-month-old brother. Over my five years babysitting, I have babysat for three families long-term (more than a year), and multiple families short-term. I worked two summers at a home daycare, helping to care for eight children, ages two months to 8 years old. My responsibilities included preparing meals and bottles, changing diapers, washing dishes, leading in art activities, helping with homework, putting kids down for nap time and much more. Over the summer, I watched my 1-year-old sister every week. Since then, I have just been focusing on school, but I would really love to start babysitting again.
