Lily $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Lily and I recently graduated from UC Berkeley with a B.A. in Molecular and Cell Biology. I am looking for part time work while I finish up a few prerequisite classes this year. I babysat for several families consistently throughout high school, so I feel confident caring for children all ages. I was also a youth gymnastics coach for three years at UC Berkeley, so have experience creating a fun and positive environment while also prioritizing safety. I became EMT and BLS certified in 2022, so I am also able to respond to any health emergencies. Aside from childcare experience, I grew up with pets and have also house-sat for family and friends on many occasions, so am happy to help out with any of these tasks as well!
