[Semi-Experienced] Looking to Babysit

I have babysat in the past (several years ago). I am 20 years old, unemployed, and not in school. I love children, though I prefer kids 3+. I have never handled any children younger than that. I have Cerebral Palsy in my legs, but that doesn't mean I can't walk. I can, just not long distances. I also have trouble carrying heavy things.

Location-wise, I would prefer the job to be close by. I live in the Oakbrook West subdivision in Clear Lake City. Behind the Clear Lake Intermediate School. Driving distance would preferably be about... 5 miles, at most. Somewhere I can get to quickly, and on time.

Before the day/night I am to arrive for the job, I prefer having a special "meet and greet" a day or two prior to that, to get to know the children, you (the parent/s), and discuss any information neccessary so I do not need to have you rush instructions while you're hurrying out the door. I also find it practical to discuss asking prices in person. I was never really good at determining a reasonable price range with this kind of thing.

I am great with kids. I love sitting around and holding them, playing with them, watching TV, and tickling them a lot. I'm more than willing to face confrontation if it ever comes.

Know that I will pay full and close attention to the kids at all times, rather than engrossing myself into TV, computer, or the phone. I will do anything I can to make the kids happy, though I don't see myself as a good "roleplayer" when it comes to entertaining them with stories and whatnot. I try, though. I do.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to e-mail me at sam_cat9@hotmail.com.

I look forward to your responses.

Thank you,
Emily Wheeler
