Hi, my name is Daija. I am 22 years old turning 23 in October, and I live in New York City. I grew up in a 3 story home in Queens with my entire family. I have 1 younger sister who is 11, a brother who is 18, 2 dogs, and a million cousins. I was just 14 when I started babysitting just to make some money to spend on whatever I wanted to buy for myself, which was mostly clothes. I was a little nervous at first since I was so young, but the woman I worked for was very sweet. Her son was 4 years old at the time and my sister Alana was about 2, so I had some experience and figured it couldnt be worse than waking up at 4am almost every night to help my mom with Alanas crying. As time went on I began to love babysitting and it would show in my performance. So much so, that the woman ended up referring me to some of her friends. Over the next few years after this, I juggled going to school, working part time as an independent babysitter and also several positions in retail. As I got older I started adulting and my daily expenses were getting worse. Next thing you know I had to start paying something adults called bills. The babysitting jobs just werent cutting it at the time and it was hard juggling school and 2 different jobs. So I decided to call off babysitting for a while even though I knew it was something I loved to do. As soon as I finished school I went from retail into the restaurant business. I sort of bounced around from restaurant to restaurant at different positions such as hostessing and serving, but it was because I always felt like something was missing, my heart wasnt fully into it. So now, Ive decided to get back into babysitting because I know that is what I truly want to do. I have never worked for a babysitting company nor PAL so I dont have any certificates, but I did many years of independent babysitting, worked for a summer camp in my fathers private school, and worked at a daycare my little sister was attending until she was 5 years old. Hopefully if youre reading this, you see me fit to work with you and your child/children. It will bring me great joy to be able to work with kids again, as I myself feel like I am still a kid at heart. Thank you so much and hope to hear from you.
