Xenia $22 per hour for 1 child

My name is Xenia. I believe in catering to a child's emotional and intellectual needs. I believe in explaining the reason for things versus telling a child "No". Instead, I will tell a child, "That's not something we put in our mouth because it's not food. We only put food and medicine in our mouth." In that way, the child is able to make the connection in its brain in a healthy and productive manner instead of bringing fear and rejection to the child. I love cats and dogs. I am open to babysit children, your fur babies, and perform light domestic work.
