My name is Lauryne and I am a university student at Brock University. I am currently enrolled in the Concurrent Education program with a major in Child and Youth studies. My goal is to be a Kindergarten teacher once I graduate. I aspire to work daily with young children and to play a crucial role in their development. I come from a family of six, with two younger siblings. I have always taken on the role of "Mom" when caring for them. My youngest sibling is twelve years younger than I am and I have played a significant role in providing care for him. I recognize the importance of developing a loving bond and fostering a close relationship with my siblings. I have experience in changing diapers, feeding young children, assisting in sleep training, language development skills, and supporting early literacy and math skills. Since I was old enough, I took every opportunity to babysit young children, whether it was a family member or a neighbour. I am a dedicated and enthusiastic babysitter with a passion for creating a safe, engaging, and enjoyable environment for children of all ages. I understand the importance of fostering a loving and supportive atmosphere while maintaining a structured routine that encourages learning and development. I understand that leaving your child with someone new can be daunting. That's why I prioritize open communication, attentiveness, and building trust with both the child and parents to ensure a seamless and enjoyable babysitting experience. In addition, I have experience supporting children with special needs. Last summer I worked with 2 teenage boys on the autism spectrum. They were minimally verbal and low-functioning. I assisted with teaching them how to read and write as well as providing activities for them to keep them entertained and happy. Due to this experience as well as helping in the special education classes at school, am comfortable caring for children with special needs. I would love the opportunity to discuss how I can be of assistance to your family and creating a nurturing environment for your child. Please feel free to reach out to further discuss your needs. Thank you for considering me as your babysitter!

Experience: I have babysat 2 children for the past 6 years. They were ages 4 and 7 when I started. I would work in the morning from 5am until 9am, waking them up, feeding them, and getting them ready and to school on time. I would also work after school until the parents got home from work. I would pick them up from the bus, walk them home, feed them, and entertain them. I ensured a safe and happy environment, where they would be excited for me to come. On top of that I have watched my young cousins and siblings from newborn to age 12.
