Raki $25 per hour for 1 child

Pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Quantitative Psychology at UC Davis. I come from a family of four but have experience sitting for my baby cousins, dogs and keeping the kids entertained. I love caregiving because of the ability to be there for kids to have fun and also make sure they are doing so in a kind and respectful manner. Something about me is I am a nature lover and an athlete! I have been running track for about 6 years now competitively and I love being a part of a team community and making friends though my love for the sport.
