Melina B.
I am an enthusiastic and dedicated individual with a background in child care and a passion for Early Childhood Education. I am an international student studying Early Childhood Education at Centennial College. Growing up in a close-knit family, I learned the value of compassion, patience, and support from an early age. My experience as a babysitter and childcare provider has equipped me with strong communication and problem-solving skills, which I apply when engaging with children and addressing their needs. I come from a loving family that values creativity and outdoor activities, which has influenced my approach to child care. I enjoy organizing fun and educational activities, such as arts and crafts, storytelling, and outdoor play, to help children learn while having fun. In my free time, I love reading, baking, and exploring nature. I believe that a nurturing and stimulating environment is crucial for a child's growth, and I strive to create that through my caring and attentive approach. My reliability and adaptability make me a great fit for families seeking a dedicated babysitter who can provide a safe and engaging experience for their children.
I have two years of experience working with children. In my previous role as a child care provider and babysitter, I had the opportunity to care for children aged 1 to 10 years. My duties included preparing meals, assisting with homework, and organizing fun, age-appropriate activities that promoted learning and play. One memorable experience involved caring for a 5-year-old who was initially shy and reserved. I introduced creative play, including arts and crafts, which helped him build confidence and express himself. By the end of the summer, he was excited to share his artwork and engage in group activities. My role as a babysitter has enhanced my skills in communication, problem-solving, and patience, ensuring a nurturing environment where children can thrive. These experiences inspired me to pursue a career in Early Childhood Education.
