Sarala Fairfax
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Sarala! Right now I am looking for summer babysitting jobs before I head off to college. I am mainly looking for part-time child care work, but I am also able to run errands and drive children. I am extremely organized and can do "mothers helper" tasks to make your house run smoothly. I have extensive experience with kids. My previous jobs with kids include being a babysitter, a nanny, an assistant teacher at a preschool and a camp counselor. Some of my favorite things to do with kids include art projects, baking, and going to the park. I have my own dog and am super comfortable around them. I have experience with dog walking as well.
