I am 28 years old from the US. I have just graduated with a masters degree in African Studies from the University of Copenhagen. I have been babysitting on and off since I was a teenager. Three years ago I lived in Costa Rica for a year where I worked with teen moms and their children and predominantly watched their children during the day. I have experience with babies of two months old to two years old. I have also babysat on and off in the states with children the ages between 5 and 10. I enjoy being creative myself and engaging the kids in arts and crafts activities (I like to paint myself) as well as indoor board games and reading together. I also enjoy spending time outside and taking the kids I’ve watched previously on walks or hikes (depending on location) as well as to the park. I think it's important to engage the child or children in activities as much as possible.
