$27 per hour for 1 child

I am a recent grad from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I graduated March of this year with a degree in Psychology and Child Development. I have close to a decade of experience with children. From babysitting, VBS, summer camps, nannying, and working at a preschool as a teachers assistant. My work experience with children starts as young as 4 months old to middle school. I also love animals and have no problem with watching a pet as well, I always love when there's the bonus child haha! I think working with children is always an incredibly fulfilling experience. Being able to be an important figure in a child's life is so crucial to their development and overall well-being, so I always take great pride in that!
